"I dislike callous and cruel treatment but it is often hard to distinguish that from the violence inherent in enforcing even necessary laws. Urging people to resist law enforcement feeds the cycle of violence in an illegitimately resistance-coded way. And the background is important. I do not agree that "no one is opposing immigration enforcement". Much of what is happening is made necessary by the huge loopholes created by the last administration that allowed millions of unvetted people to ignore lines and by the designation of complete cities as "sanctuary cities" which bake in noncompliance"
