@vicfroh Yeah because that will certainly be the one law ICE is willing to obey...This is just another MAGA sympathizer trying to find ways to excuse ICE continuing to exist.

@admin Do you know who Jay Inslee is? He's the former governor of Washington State. He is very far from "MAGA," and is pure corruption.How does ICE being near polling places have anything to influencing voters? Only legal citizens should be voting... Unless you live in Washington where they register everyone with a drivers license to vote - citizen or not. It is "on the individual" not to do illegal things, even if they've "given" the OK.@vicfroh

@billybon3s @vicfroh Because it's a violation of federal law, and if they're willing to break that law then why wouldn't they break others?ICE is not law enforcement. They do not exist to chase after criminals. They do not exist to do security patrols. There is nothing that could possibly authorize them to be at polling stations. They have to business being there.But they've already violated most of our rights and thrown our Constitution into a shredder so why not fuck with our right to vote too, right?By the way, the Constitution says states have a right to decide how they regulate voting. You know what it doesn't say a goddamn word about? Immigration.

@admin "Immigration and Customs Enforcement" is a federal level of law enforcement. They enforce laws pertaining immigration and customs; stuff that crosses the US border. If you bring stuff in illegally, you've broken the law. If you jump the border or overstay your visa, you've broken the law.They shouldn't be at polling stations because illegals shouldn't be voting. The States have a right to conduct voting as they wish, but they can't include illegal votes.@vicfroh

@billybon3s @vicfroh Yeah, it's not a crime though, it's a civil infraction. Like speeding. They can stop you if they catch you in the act, write you a citation or something, but they aren't supposed to be going door-to-door raiding houses over that shit, and they have no authority to be at polling places.There's a few amendments that give the feds the right to prevent racial discrimination, but nothing on immigration. No state "allows" undocumented immigrants to vote, but even if they did it's not like they're gonna get additional electoral college votes. It would only affect the people within that state and if they have a problem with the enforcement of their state laws they can change their state government. There's really no standing for people outside the state to challenge it.And when the feds *do* investigate election issues it's the job of the FBI and DOJ. Not ICE. There is no argument by which any of that would be ICE's job. So the only reason for them to be there would be to demonstrate that they are no longer required to obey the laws. Not that they haven't already demonstrated that by executing citizens without charge or trial on the streets...

@billybon3s @vicfroh lmao, just noticed the guy arguing that federal agents should have ultimate authority to do whatever the fuck want is on "NoAuthority.social", that's some serious fuckin irony man xD"No Authority" ought to mean no immigration laws at all, shouldn't it?

@admin I don't believe I have argued they should have ultimate authority, but we do have a written code we agree to abide by to conduct a civil society.You also seem to have missed the point that I did not want people who aren't supposed to be voting to be altering my civil agreements clauses. I believe that WA State govt is corrupt - with Jay Inslee being integral for 3 terms as governor. With blatent did regard for law, I approve of enforcement.@vicfroh

@admin ICE outside a polling station would be intimidation. I don't approve, but again, I don't approve of non-citizens voting.If the knowledge exists and a court has ordered containment of an individual, via warrant (civil agreement), then so be it.When they start locking up citizens, then I will have other words.Interfering with state (local to fed) always runs the risk of paperwork on some level.@vicfroh

@billybon3s @vicfroh Dude they've been locking up citizens FOR DECADES! When I was in college -- class of 2012 -- I was reading about ICE locking up native born Americans who had never left the country, just went on vacation in the south, who ended up working prison labor at $1/day until they'd saved up enough to buy a copy of their own birth certificate to prove their innocence! Right now ICE has people locked up whose families have been living here since before our revolution! Not to mention the numerous citizens they've unlawfully executed recently!ICE itself in younger than I am. And it's never done anything but oppress our people. We can and should abolish it. The entire concept of an immigration agency didn't exist for half of our nation's history -- it was created during Jim Crow when they were looking for new reasons to lock up the brown people! Which is mostly about suppressing our wages, that's why they go after the immigrants but never seem to care about the bosses paying those people illegally low wages. Stop making the immigrants afraid of the authorities and the real criminals and abusers would actually get reported and prosecuted. Our current enforcement strategy just creates a class of people that are easier to exploit and abuse. Because they dared to pursue life, liberty, and happiness.
