Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.
This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

Large protests broke out in Denmark and Greenland under the slogan “Hands off Greenland.” Crowds gathered in front of Copenhagen’s City Hall before marching to the U.S. Embassy, demanding respect for Greenlanders’ right to self-determination and opposing reported U.S. plans concerning the island.

It's horrific but also this is pretty much a regular arrest. That's how violent arrests are. I am glad people can see it and be horrified -- that's what police are out there doing every day, legally. Every 3 seconds basically.
New video shows ICE agents detaining a US citizen legal observer in Minneapolis.
The agents smashed his car window, dragged him out, and placed a knee on his neck.

This was a major initiative from the Biden White House, based in the idea of getting together all the countries with a stake in this crisis. They pressured China to stop precursor chemicals, hit hard at the capital funding for production in Mexico, and funded Narcan in the U.S. It apparently worked.
China's fentanyl crackdown led to a stunning drop in U.S. overdoses, research says
