If you think that there is a potential danger down the line that could arise naturally from a sense of uncaring lawlessness, and pushing back on this particular case will help prevent future misdeeds, that's reasonable.
Any erosion of privacy rights and those of the accused is inevitably abused by law enforcement. That is how this works.
So far we have the Trump admin arguing:
1. People accused of being illegal immigrants can be deported with essentially no process. Likewise for being associated with a group the Trump admin declares it should be applied to, with membership decided by basically law enforcement fiat (since there is essentially no due process there is no opportunity for defense).
2. If the government ships you off to a foreign prison fast enough (read as if the plane is outside US airspace by the time it's made it through the court), you are no longer in their jurisdiction and thus are not subject to due process and cannot be returned.
3. 2 should be applied to "homegrown" alleged criminals.
4. ICE should be allowed to enter private residences without warrant if they believe an illegal immigrant is present.
5. The power described in 4 can be granted to local, state and federal law enforcement if essentially deputized by ICE to assist with immigration enforcement.
What is the result of all these things being put together and abused in the single most straightforward form possible? Do you think that the Trump admin isn't thinking that far ahead? Is this incompetence or slowly assembling the machinery for malevolence in order to justify each brick in a vacuum?
The alt-right section of the Last of Us fandom's obsession with Bella Ramsey is almost as ludicrous as the hate for Rachel Zegler.
Eh, I think the actress they got for Abby looks the part for Ellie much more than the actress they got for Ellie, FWIW. I also find it funny that they're toning way back on how buff Abby is compared to the game.
And yet Donald Trump took credit for the economy while Joe Biden was still in office.

I don't know why anyone is surprised, the short version is anything bad is Biden's fault (or Obama's) and anything good is Trump's fault. The specific line I've been using with MAGA folks has been "Whether it's good or bad, however it is and what direction it appears to be moving in 2026 and 2028 is entirely the fault of Trump and MAGA, for good or ill. They controll all three branches of government - there's no one else to blame it on. Vote accordingly." This of course assumes there will be a free and fair election in '26 and '28.
and no more screwing around from the Trump administration
This part, right here, seems painfully unlikely.
