The problem is they don't have enough dhs agents and are using the border guards who don't have that training and the local police won't help because they have been order not to. I think with the changes in leadership we are going to see less brutal unnecessarily actions less social media taunting but more deportations in a more humane way.
But that kind of manpower takes the military. And ofcourse the Germans didn't mind shooting people who resisted. They were by that stage not trying to win hearts and minds.
unless you have not noticed, almost all of the world is backing away slowly, and discussing amongst themselves how everything that has happened in the last 100 years, needs to be reassessed and reframed with the US bieng uncle sam the boogy man.
With the current Supreme Court doing everything in its power to require the hardest road possible to righting constitutional wrongs, this is going to take a lot of time and money by regular folks to fight and to hopefully -- at some point -- stop this abuse of power.
