Conservatives who once railed against federal agents now applaud them
Since Ruby Ridge and Waco, some right-wing populists had excoriated federal law enforcement. Now those agents are being deployed by their allies.

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

The party of law and order literally just wrote themselves a memo that says they don't have to follow the 4th Amendment.
That's right, ICE intends to perform illegal search and seizures without a warrant.
Add that to the list with "we had to beat up the police on Jan 6 to defend our democracy".

If this is accurate, Good was killed by a bullet fired after there was any conceivable argument Agent Ross was in the path of her vehicle, which means there was no legal justification for using deadly force. But DOJ says there’s no reason to investigate.

ICE rear-ended an SUV carrying the two minors. The driver, a teenage girl, was seen handing agents a U.S. passport book. Agents checked her identification before putting her in cuffs as she cried. ICE took a picture of the teen boy’s face then took him.
