You’re right. We should throw away the constitution so we can deport.. (checks notes) 600,000 undocumented immigrants, only 5% of which have committed a violent crime.
I mean, I don't like CCP tech or public executions of disarmed citizens but saying only 5% is a bit nuts.

The alternative is better trained officers with more accountability.

I don't have a horse in this race, but I do have a question. If you don't deport illegal immigrants, why not just open the border to everyone to come in? (let's ignore criminal records, etc for this exercise). What's the point of not letting people in but then if they manage to come in illegally, assume it's all good and they can stay?
For instance, if you believe the border should be strict to keep out serial killers, what does that have to do with removing Korean car factory workers who aren't serial killers?

The same people saying that will also defend police wearing masks, hiding badges, and shutting off body cameras.

There’s a world of difference between a government using legally collected data for multiple purposes and an individual abusing their position purely for personal reasons.
That difference is looking very thin right now.
Any time I see people say "I don't see why I should care about my privacy, I've got nothing to hide" I think about how badly things can go if the wrong people end up in positions of power. The classic example here is what happens when someone is being stalked by an abusive ex-partner who works in law enforcement and has access to those databases. This ICE stuff is that scaled up to a multi-billion dollar federal agen…
For any piece of data that exists, the government effectively has access to it through court orders or backdoors. Either way, it can and will be used against you.
If you work on this kind of tech, please, quit your job.
I hope that we can agree that blowing off the 10A and allowing all of this federal bloat has not been a swift call. Social services left at the State level would be subject to a smaller pool of votes for approval and are more likely to be funded by actual tax revenue instead of debt. That is: sustainably. Furthermore, the lack of One True Database is a safety feature in the face of the inevitable bad actors. In naval…
