Trump is defending the nationwide ICE raids that have shaken communities across this country. I mean, he is now saying that they haven't gone far enough in his first 60 minutes interview, you know, since suing CBS Trump called the mass arrest strong, beautiful and necessary, claiming that illegal immigration is a threat to American life. Take, watch this video.
More recently, Americans have been watching videos of ice tackling a young mother tear gas being used in a Chicago residential neighborhood and the smashing of car windows. Have some of these raids gone too far?
No, I think they haven't gone far enough because we've been held back by the, by the judges. By the liberal judges that were put in by Biden and by Obama.
You're okay with those tactics?
Uh, yeah, because you have to get the people out.
His comments come as reporters show hundreds, um, detained in churches, schools, workplaces, now preschools, I mean many with no criminal, um, record inactive asylum claims. Trump went even further saying I should double its efforts and that nobody, uh, not judges, uh, not politicians, not even fake news. Media can stop what's coming. I mean, immigration advocates call that like basically an open threat of escalation, warning that mass raids without warrants or, um, individual cause violate the Constitution because it does. Uh, the Justice Department hasn't commented on whether any, uh, new legal directives have been issued, but inside of immigrant communities, fear is growing. And that night the president was making clear that these raids are just the beginning. And when a president says they haven't gone far enough, he's not talking about policy numbers, guys. He's talking about people, real human beings being taken from their homes, their jobs, their churches.
This isn't about immigration, it's about what kind of country we're becoming a nation, um, that uses fear as a tool of control. I mean, that sees power in making people afraid to walk outside or pick up their kits from school. I mean, the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement, um, ICE was created after nine 11 to combat national security threats. It was never designed to act as a roaming armed police force inside our communities. But that's basically what it's becoming. What's happening now is different from prior immigration crackdowns reports from California, Florida, and Texas show ice conducting, I mean, mass raids without individual warrants entering private property without consent and detaining people who have valid pending asylum claims, or actually 170 US citizens. There's been probably more that we don't know about. That's a direct violation of the Fourth Amendment that guarantees freedom from unreasonable search and seizure.
Okay? And the Fifth Amendment as well, which guarantees your due process, which is the right to a hearing before you're detained or deported. That's not happening. Okay? So Trump's words matter when he says double the efforts he's signaling to federal agencies that legal restraints are optional. That is why constitutional scholars and civil rights lawyers are sounding the alarm every single day because this kind of language creates real world consequences. I mean, we've seen it before. Under his first term, the zero tolerance policy took children from their parents. I mean, courts found that it violated both domestic law and international human right standards. That's crazy. Today's raids are that policy reincarnated just, you know, repackaged as law and order. But here's the bigger picture. When a government normalizes roundups of vulnerable people, it doesn't stop there. Okay? Power always expands or at least tries to, okay?
