    This administration is pretty much tossing every part of the Constitution aside. I can’t help but wonder what the founding fathers would think after just fighting a long war to get these rights written down…

    You can’t protest what they’re doing. Only their supporters should have guns (remember when Trump said, ‘Take their guns’?)

    If you don’t let ICE crash at your place, you can’t do business, MAGA will dox it.

    ICE can stop and hold you whenever they feel like it.

    They can keep you locked up without charging you, so forget about due process.

    They can deport you before you even get a chance to go to court, even if the court says not to.

    ICE claims they can use military courts instead of regular juries, and they say they’re immune to all laws.

    Citizens can be deported without a trial.

    You are starting to lose the right to just be out and about without showing ID (if ICE even asks to see it). Soon you’ll need a driver’s license just to walk to the store.

    ICE, as a federal agency, has more power than the states, even though states should have rights over the federal government.

    This is a tipping point in history.

      re: driver’s license to walk to store - there are already enough examples in recent history in the US of pretty much exactly this situation happening.

      example: the civil rights lawyer (YT), video “CVS employee arrested waiting on bench”. guy got off work, sat on the bench outside the store waiting for his Lyft, wouldn’t provide ID, got arrested.

        I will say, at least in that specific case, the guy is likely to get a payout for his civil rights being violated.

        You can’t really say the same about ICE violating your rights. And the chances of that are essentially -10% if you’re an undocumented immigrant.

          yeah, in that case, the response to it has not been entirely unreasonable. my point is that it even happened in the first place. but yes, the system does seem to be somewhat working for that poor guy.

        That is so that the morons who listen to them see Obama and Biden didn’t do it so that when people point out Trump is actually doing it they doubt it is really happening.

        They fall for anything.

        They just wanted to make sure that they were the one’s doing it. (Of course most of this madness would not have happened under Obama and Biden)

      The agents then showed what appears to be a DHS administrative warrant, or “ICE warrant” which does not have the same legal standing as a judicial warrant signed by a judge, and does not authorize entering a home for search and seizure under the 4th Amendment.

      Remember, have them slip the warrant under the door before opening it even a crack. It MUST be signed by a judge to be legal. Anything else is bullshit, no matter what they say. They are liars, and they are allowed to lie, so assume that EVERYTHING they say is a lie.

      Make them break down the door, and preserve your right to sue them and fund your retirement.

        Fuck everyone who wished to “live in interesting times” over “good times” because they can’t entertain themselves and need the world to be entertaining for them. Lol

        They got their wish.
