    I have a feeling the first part of this comment is going to age poorly

      They’re trained. And they probably don’t want to be there.

      ICE is untrained and very eager.

      Given a choice, which would you prefer?

      But yes, shit can always go sideways with this admin. They give zero fucks for We The People.

        The national guard were the ones roaming cities during BLM protests, in armoured vehicles, shooting random civilians on their porches with less lethal ammunition.

        I like your optimism and wish I could share it, but that is very unit and personnel dependent and on a large gradient of quality.

        I’d avoid both but if I had to choose, I’d choose the ones that swore an oath to the constitution. Expecting people to honor their oath is a losing bet though, especially American soldiers, given the training they go through that systemically destroys their ability to critically think.
