The crowd backed off after managing to free protesters held by agents. One ICE officer yelled, “We’ll get you next time!” while walking backward.

Numbers. As long as the crowd has numbers, they will give up. Send them packing with their tails between their legs.

When this is over, we are going to have to try, convict, and hang thousands of ICE agents for crimes against humanity. They are committing capital offenses. Many of them need to hang for this.

I don't think history has ever shown that the government will prosecute agents of the law for doing what the government told them to do.

489 cases went to trial, involving 1,672 defendants. Out of how many Nazis?

You are correct that is closer to "justice" than usually happens, but for the most part the rank and file didn't really see the consequences that is insinuated when one learns about the Nuremberg trials.

And I would’ve gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for those meddling protestors!

Numbers. As long as the crowd has numbers, they will give up. Send them packing with their tails between their legs.

... while you still can. With a $200 billion budget, ICE will have the upper hand in no time
