I don't know this country anymore

Video footage of the incident captured by Laynez-Ambrosio, an 18-year-old US citizen, appears to show a group of officers in tactical gear working together to violently detain the three men*, two of whom are undocumented. They appear to use a stun gun on one man, put another in a chokehold and can be heard telling Laynez-Ambrosio: “You’ve got no rights here. You’re a migo, brother.” Afterward, agents can be heard bragging and making light of the arrests, calling the stun gun use “funny” and quipping: “You can smell that … $30,000 bonus.”
The footage has put fresh scrutiny on the harsh tactics used by US law enforcement officials as the Trump administration sets ambitious enforcement targets to detain thousands of immigrants every day.
“The federal government has imposed quotas for the arrest of immigrants,” said Jack Scarola, an attorney who is advocating on behalf of Laynez-Ambrosio and working with the non-profit Guatemalan-Maya Center, which provided the footage to the Guardian. “Any time law enforcement is compelled to work towards a quota, it poses a significant risk to other rights.”

One must wonder if these thugs are intentionally trained to be abusive or if the job attracts those who are already that way. I hesitate to call them agents as they are not in uniform and don't follow the rule of law.

Fire em? No. Arrest them all and keep them in one of those tent prisons while each case slowly winds through the system. Or deport them to face crimes against humanity charges? Use the new huge Immigration and Customs enforcement budget to go after the entrenched white supremicist movement working to prevent the lawful acceptance of immigrants to the country. (never gonna happen...)
