    Situations like this raise difficult ethical questions about personal responsibility and professional duty. Ultimately, each person has to decide what aligns with their conscience.

      There’s nothing difficult or complicated about it. Do you support America and it’s citizens or fucking fascists?

      Ultimately if you’re part of the group pushing for the latter, I hope you get all the misery you put others through.

      Oof, I think there was a convention of some sort hosted in Switzerland that settled some of these ethical questions in a fairly defined way, a little while back.

      Edit: this was me being cheeky about the Geneva convention- unlawful deportation is a war crime. For real though, if you aren’t familiar with the Nuremberg trials, the “superior orders defence” has been settled- no ethical quandary about it. It’s illegal to follow illegal orders.
