Immigration Enforcement is something all Administrations have done. Obama deported 8 million or something.

But the Trump admin has chosen spectacular violence as the manner with which they are conducting immigration enforcement. Deliberately. To dominate, intimidate, and provoke.

That is what I find appalling and unforgivable, as it is predictable. It's part and parcel of Trump's lifetime modus operandi - his pathology made into government policy.
