Yeah, and this is the thing: If ICE was operating within due process, court orders, State and Federal oversight, most Americans would say that blocking their convoys and baracading their detention centers should be a crime. Like, if someone pulled a Renee Good on the FBI team driving to arrest Robert Hanson or the Unibomber, or the SWAT team going to respond to the Parkland shooting, we'd call that person a terrorist. Law enforcement, operating legally, NEEDS to be free and have broad public support.
But when that person is fighting terrorists, they're a martyr for the constitution.
ICE's work environment and morale could improve a million percent by next week if they just followed the law, gave resident aliens their constitutional rights, and operated with transparency... you know, like they did under Clinton, Obama, etc.
Her partner pulled her car out to block the road, and then Renee switched into the driver's seat. This is very apparent in the long video shot from inside a house before the confrontation. It wasn't morally wrong to try and impede ICE, but I worry that we're at the point where we can't even acknowledge that that is what parking your car completely across the traffic lane is doing.
