The entire article reads like a comedy... Of errors. The ICE agents didn't know what they were doing. Didn't know where to go. Didn't have functioning equipment. Didn't know how to use said equipment. Couldn't follow basic instructions (navigation).
Forget the innocent civilian who was pointlessly harassed and detained for a moment: They are clearly wasting US tax dollars, driving around aimlessly, without proper training, accomplishing absolutely nothing.
It is astonishingly clear that ICE is incapable of doing the most basic functions of their job. Better to not even have immigration enforcement at all than this pointless waste of government resources.
This is the clearest demonstration yet that Republicans are completely incapable of governing efficiently. Or even governing at all! If they can't even implement their own Nazi/racist ideals properly, what makes you think they can do something as complicated as balancing the budget or managing a war?
They can't even get villaining right!
You misunderstand. That they can target anyone, at any time, is the point. They want you to live in fear.
Like everyone has this image of the Nazis being very orderly and efficient. And in some ways that's true. But the Sturmabteilung, like ICE, were not accountable to the law. If they turned up and decided they didn't like you, you could be beaten, kidnapped, tortured, or killed.
I know this is a little off topic but I'm tired of the whole "Nazis were well organized and ran things like a well oiled machine" trope because it's just fantasy.
There were a ton of rather inept people in office, plenty of idiots running amock and the military structure was a joke where people who had no business playing commander got to make life and death decisions.
Like I really encourage anyone to just do some more reading on how the whole government and military was organized and the cascade of errors that came about because of it. There is a reason the third Reich lasted only 12 years and it's not just because they made bad decisions in the lead up to and during world war 2.
