Even if they’re not fake calls, who cares? lol.

Nah, families are not cool. We hate ICE because they are unjust murderers. Im not going to argue whether killing ICE is morally justified, but without further details you should default to not killing families

Nobody is killing anybody. Don't be dramatic.

That said, social pressure is an important part of keeping society functioning. And pressure on these families to pressure the ICE agents is necessary.

But I really wish the pressure was coming from their friends, not some wacko Internet strangers. If it's even real, which is dubious.

This is actually the perfect tactic. You can compare anything you want to Nazis if that’s the only argument you can come up with. But that’s pretty weak.

The people are fighting back… so that would be like a Jew calling a Nazi and telling them, if you family member continues to round us up and kill us by the millions, we are gonna come for you too.

And you think the Jew is the bad person in this situation?

W O W

People are gonna do what they do. If ICE wants their families to be safe, they’ll quit.

So when you find yourself arguing for outright nazi policy do you maybe want to stop and look in the mirror? Seriously dude, im not reaponding anymore. If you dont realize that you are a fucking psychopath then theres not much i can do to help you.

I personally wouldn’t threaten those family members. It is what it is tho. Those ICE agents can quit any time they want.

Imagine crying about this if Nazi family members received the same treatment. I really wouldn’t care.
