The issue is that not being careful about the follow up to the action is going to have repercussions on people that would have otherwise become "resigned to living a life completely unthreatening to law enforcement".
I think the issue is more about those Trumpers getting riled up. Maybe the state doesn't give a fuck, but it only takes a Trumper to shoot a leftist personality, an Anti-ICE rally, or just go on a rampage against latinos, and shit will continue to hit the fan.
I'm also not a gringo, but I do know that whatever happens in Amerikkka will definitely spill to the rest of the world, espcially western aligned countries. So Australia needs to keep an eye out, and here, the comprador right wing here will definitely become rabid.
Most cocaine shipments leave from Colombia, FYI.
