[FLAG] 'HIZONNER' CAT3-SDA-HN: DISSIDENT DEPORTATION ALERT
Why is it surprising if another law enforcement agency like ICE uses it?
I think the nuance is how they'll use the information: less random pick-ups (and associated crowds), versus more targetted swoops.
They are thugs that see themselves as above the law.
And the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is a democracy :)
I'm very anti-surveillance, this shouldn't be allowed, but I feel like a lot of articles are being disingenuous by means of this omission. Is this a problem that only affects immigrants? It doesn't seem that way to me, but by presenting it that way they knowingly divide people and thus make it less likely that a group will prevent or reverse this action. These are the types of articles I'd write if I wanted this issue to drop off the radar of a large portion of the voting population.
Feel free to get your undies in a bundle over my "I'm on a MF-in' boat" FourSquare check-in.
Rule #1 of staying off the radar: Don't deliberately put yourself on the radar.
