They only wanted to show the first page of a three page warrant because it was unsigned.

I did love this part.

At the same time, an individual with a loudspeaker — unaffiliated with the federal agents — shouted that Espinoza did not have to open the door to them without a warrant signed by a judge.

"Do not talk to them if they do not have a warrant," the individual said.

Other people who had been following the federal agents with megaphones called them "kidnappers" and "terrorists" and began chanting the words "say it once, say it twice, we will not put up with ICE."

I love that there is a crowd following around the ICE agents with a megaphone informing people of their rights.

It gives me hope that folks are tailing ICE nazis like this.

[-] treadful@lemmy.zip 79 points 1 week ago

I'm honestly impressed. That's a brave position to be in.

[-] noxypaws@pawb.social 18 points 1 week ago

Yeah seriously. Boundless respect.

[-] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Yeah, gutsy as fuck.

If I ever see those fuckers in my neighborhood it'll be the final straw to get me on next door, the city's subreddit, and whatever else I can get my hands on. And I'm gonna warn as many people as I can.

I wish there was a more formalized group for it though.

Trump loves the uneducated. He likes his voters dumb and his victims unaware of their rights. Good for the megaphone crowd.

Also the classic fascist play to immediately start tearing down government agencies so people aren’t sure what their rights are at any given moment. As you said, props to these people with megaphones

[-] littlewonder@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

This is my new favorite fact. I'm so going to buy a megaphone if I find out ICE is in my neighborhood.

How do you show someone a signed warrant without them opening their door? Sure, you can open it a little and slide it through the gap, but what if you don't have a chain lock and are afraid they'll force their way in?

Hold it up for them to see it through a window? Though in this case the person had already gone outside to talk to the ~~gestapo~~ er, ICE agents.

Hold it up to the window ?

This will make for a wonderful segment in a Behind the Bastards episode. If we get back onto a decent timeline, the crew will be able to offer up some of the most delicious absurdities.
