You're being disingenuous by saying things like:
> largely the same thing
Look at the points I mentioned and tell me how they're the same. I don't contest that law enforcement does awful things with their power, but this administration emboldens them is the difference. > I do not agree on Nazi actions, etc. That’s exaggeration and it’s not useful.
What? You disagree with the actions but it's also exaggerated? > deployment and tactics of ICE that Obama and Trump are roughly equal
Answer this for me: did Obama send ICE agents into cities as retribution? Did he send ICE agents into schools, hospitals, protests, etc.[0]?If ICE agents are known to abuse detainees, then why would you want them in sensitive areas? By that metric, these administrations are not even close to being the same.

Obama set the precedent, didn’t he?
The ACLU calls Obama a monster.
Now it’s time to fish or cut bait. Do you condemn Obama for using ICE as described in the many articles I have shared?
Obama didn't use ICE to crack down on dissent or to sexually abuse minors, so no. He didn't set precedent for the ways they're being used now.
