      Devil’s advocate cartels are cartels. If you’re messing up cartel business by arresting and deporting their members that makes you a target of retaliation.

      Ofc that would require them to actually be dealing with the cartel and not just whatever (mostly brown) people who aren’t armed and violent.

          Thats a low hanging obvious retort about removing masks. It isn’t reality because they’re going after others but you have to consider it when making a law to counter them, it is part of what they say they’re doing. So crafting a law which will easily run into that wall means it will ultimately be reduced to inefficacy/removed. Delaying bad stuff is goof but something to actually stop it needs to be different because a delay is not infinite.
