You would never call out the Dallas extremist accidentally mowing down two INNOCENT detainees because it's very inconvenient for your case, despite your entire argument purportedly being driven by care for these people (the same people that were collateral damage in Dallas).
Enforcing the law is not inherently good. It is only as good as the morality behind the law and the manner it which it is enforced. This administration and the forces backing it possess neither morality nor the ability to impartially enforce any of these laws.
Even if your insistence that asking for basic empathy encourages apathy is true, it only says something disturbing about the Americans supporting this administration. On that topic, polls have consistently shown that a majority of Americans do not approve of how the current immigration crackdown is being handled.
The activists also continually highlight the plight of people with sordid backgrounds, like Seamus Culleton. He was plastered throughout the media as a sympathetic deportee, until you also learn he was a wanted fugitive drug dealer in Ireland. Whoops, memory holed!
On the topic of polls, the vast majority of Americans support deportations. 56% of registered voters support deporting ALL illegal aliens. Not just criminals - ALL.
ICE is much more intimidated by these than by the handful of fools who serve them pretext on a platter.
No, ICE should not be allowed to hide from legal accountability.
The extremists are the ones infiltrating our government and turning it into the Fourth Reich.
