Kentucky Unions Stand Up to Halt Deportation of Two Hundred Workers (labornotes.org)

Two hundred union workers, out of 5,700 who assemble dishwashers, refrigerators, washers, and dryers for GE Appliances-Haier at Appliance Park in Louisville, Kentucky, received notice this month that the Trump administration is revoking their work authorizations.

The immigrant workers from Cuba, Nicaragua, Haiti, and Venezuela have received a mixed reaction to their imminent deportation—hostility from some co-workers and an outpouring of support from their union and the local labor movement. They’re part of the Communications Workers’ industrial division, IUE-CWA Local 83761.

I actually don't think that's accurate.

Here's another source you're turn, shop around a bit see if you can find anyone who publishes a number that agrees with you. Nobody agrees with your speculation.

We need to talk about unjustified killings.

This is a uniquely American problem. Either 'Americans are just soooo unbelievably violent and deadly that they must be put down like the rabid dogs they are' or something else is going on. Please stop insinuating people like George Floyd are rabid dogs that need to be put down.

You could literally do whatever you wanted.

It's a nice idea, but not how any of that works because we don't live in anything like a true confederation.

no-trial no-warrant neo-Gestapo

98% of criminal cases in the US already don't get a trial. If we're going to talk about the George Floyd protests we should talk about Breanna Taylor and the fraudulent warrant that led to her death.

ICE is something different.

And worse. I agree, but it's a continuation of, and supported by, the same police you are claiming are "fixed". ICE cannot operate effectively without direct LEO support.
