If fentanyl deaths are your issue, then arresting immigrants isn't the cure: US citizens are smuggling the vast majority.

Indeed. The two points aren't connected.

Ever notice how that bot farm was raided overseas this stream has been quieter? Me too

That’s true!

The police have been arresting the wrong person forever. It's much, much, much easier to determine if a person is a legally allowed to be here, than it is to solve a crime.

So what if ICE arrests the wrong person. They'll immediately be released when they show a legal reason to be here.

It's a 1,000 times harder to prove innocence of a non-immigration related crime. Innocent people have been executed.

It's all a tragedy but we don't live in a perfect world. So if an ICE agent accidentally arrests a legal citizen, green card holder, etc. then at least there's no threat of them being executed or being sent to prison for many years. They just have to show a valid ID and the problem is solved.

"So what if ICE arrests the wrong person"

Wrongful arrest is against the law

It’s actually less then 100k

The number they're running off of is 100k overdose deaths in total. In 2023, there were about 110,000 overdose deaths in the US (shocking! way too high) and about 76,000 of them were from synthetic opiods. The good news is that those deaths came down significantly in 2024.
