"You don't want militarized people in the streets just roaming around, snatching up people many of which turn out to be U.S. citizens that just don't have their papers on them. Are we really gonna be the Gestapo? Where's your papers?' Is that what we've come to?"
"I'm not that guy, I don't know what he thought, and again this is a guy who had almost been run over. But this just looked horrific to me. When people say it's justifiable because the car hit him, it seemed like she was kind of turning the car away. It seemed like she was out of her f*cking mind to begin with. That lady seemed crazy."
Both conservative and protester perspectives on illegal immigration and ICE enforcement present competing concerns about public safety and civil liberties. Conservative advocates argue ICE raids are necessary to curb the harms of illegal immigration and enforce immigration laws. Opponents warn that militarized agents patrolling cities, masked and executing raids, create the appearance of Gestapo-like policing and risk detaining U.S. citizens without papers. A Minnesota incident in which Renee Good was shot during an encounter with an ICE agent has intensified scrutiny; accounts note the agent had been previously run over, while witnesses describe the shooting as horrific and potentially avoidable. Concerns include agents appearing villainous to communities and procedural transparency, such as the inability of citizens to readily identify masked operatives.
