I guess that’s just life when you’re a hypocrite.

    Liberals pretending they give a fuck about ICE suddenly in 2025 will always be the funniest shit to me.

      Why are you pretending that liberals have not been calling for humane immigration reform for the past 40 years?

      There are significantly more protests against ICE now because ICE is significantly worse. It’s basic math.

        Oh boy, you do not wanna play the math game here…

        https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/06/19/obama-trump-deportation-numbers/84257245007/

        Obama had earned the critical reputation as “deporter in chief” and Trump’s first term lagged behind Obama in numbers.

        Throughout eight years in office, the Obama administration logged more than 3.1 million ICE deportations

        Across four years, the Trump administration recorded fewer than 932,000 deportations.

          That only tells a small portion of the story. Here’s the full picture:

          Obama also created DACA to protect kids without legal immigration status.

          Trump has used ICE to arrest hundreds of US citizens, including government officials. Trump has expanded detention centers and instituted a brutally punitive system, including sending hundreds of people to El Salvador prison. Trump has expanded ICE to a larger force than most nations’ standing armies.

          Anyone who thinks that the immigration system is better now than a decade ago must have their fingers in their ears.

            Obama: deports 3.1 million Mexicans

            You sleep

            Trump: deports a few REAL AMERICANS

            REAL SHIT

            lmao

            Trump may be expanding detention centers, but Obama had fucking GUANTANAMO BAY under his belt.

            Lastly, my point isnt that things are BETTER under Trump. You got so brainwashed into this team-sports nonsense, you can’t even see where my principles are coming from.

              There were absolutely protests under Obama. Things were bad.

              There are bigger protests now under Trump. Things are worse.

              Like I said, the math is pretty simple.

              Please stop trying to rewrite history.
