I get the angle you're coming from, but I feel like it's missing the point.

The problem is we have a beehive full of ICE/HSI agents that are going around in plain clothes, yelling "trust me bro" in place of warrants/badges/names, and demanding full obedience to anyone they approach.

The same people will injure, sometimes gravely, and refuse medical treatment while holding them in terrible conditions. The party line is that anyone who is arrested by these people are "criminals", which is just a direct contradiction to the bill of rights.

At the end of the day, your comments are saying "I don't care about the bill of rights, all that matters is authority regardless of the legitimacy."

I disagree and your characterization of my argument seems inaccurate. Still, at least you can muster appropriate counter. Thank you.
