If I saw ICE coming to my door as a minority, I would be shooting. There is no longer a gaurantee you will have a fair case before court, or even a court case at all.

[-] Objection@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 months ago

They've forced children as young as 6 to defend themselves in court with no right to an attorney, and it's been going on for years. The right to counsel isn't applied to immigration cases. It's truly insane, kangaroo court shit.

If the interpretation that they don't need a warrant stands, it means that ICE could walk into anybody's home, abduct their child, accuse them of being an illegal immigrant, do a show trial, and then ship them off to Guantanamo Bay where no press is allowed. Or, for all we know, to Little St. James or anywhere else.

If they "believe" a law gives them some right (to enter a home) then I "believe" I have the right to enter their body with a ballistic projectile.

[-] Sabata11792@ani.social 6 points 2 months ago

Getting turned into a puddle at home is better than a death camp.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Well if warrants are off the table now, I guess we just start shooting whenever?

Weird, but whatever. Okay.

[-] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 10 points 2 months ago

Remains unclear whether the Trump administration will apply the law in this way.

Uh gestures broadly around

Pretty certain we can assume that it will.

[-] Theprogressivist@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

We are one step away from requiring quarters to troops.

[-] arrow74@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Once that line is crossed it's finally time to get serious!

[-] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

This is going to get a lot of ICE people shot and killed.

[-] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

A lot of people are going to get shot by both sides.

[-] ooterness@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

[-] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Why has no one bitch slapped this idiot and pointed out that there has been no declaration of war and the law in question cannot be legally invoked? Honestly, how does this clown keep getting away with this shit?

[-] PancakesCantKillMe@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

how does this clown keep getting away with this shit?

A severe case of Lack of Consequences is how.

[-] C45513@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

if law isn't being enforced, it effectively doesn't exist

[-] BassTurd@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Never been a better time to end the person breaking into your house.

Best case: you kill a terrorist and get off on self defense.

Likely outcome: you eat a dozen bullets and die.

No defense outcome: you get a free flight to a concentration camp in a country you may or may not have ever been to, you suffer, then you die.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Don't forget to stock up on hollow points. Breaking their oath to the Constitution is going to have some repercussions

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 4 points 2 months ago

Feds wear body armor. Hollow points greatly decrease penetration power.

[-] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago

checks instance name

So there was a show called The Unit. Decent show. Not great but lots of action. It has Dennis Haybert.

Anyway, there is an episode where they (the delta team) has to secure the president who was running away from a highly armored militia.

His words: head and groin

Again, the show is decent. Recommend a watch to those who are into shows like that.

This reply isn't related to this thread but just randomly came to mind.

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 months ago

Only if the shooter aims at the body

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 2 months ago

You should also aim for the body (with your rifle) because, as a real person, your name isn't John Wick.

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago

what are you talking about. I maxed all the head shot perks.

[-] techclothes@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I wonder if a person with a mouse connected to a robotic arm with a gun would be good at getting head shots.

[-] bountygiver@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

need some open source project for a firmware to control aim a turret with a mouse.

Preferably a whole contraption that can be assembled with accessible parts

[-] ABetterTomorrow@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

ICE is going to regret when those start protecting themselves in their own home.

[-] sneaky@r.nf 0 points 2 months ago

Probably not as much as the people trying to protect their families. Average household 4-6 people inside? They'll send 24 then. Double that after the first agent casualty.

[-] ABetterTomorrow@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

You be surprised what a family will do. Also ICE doesn’t have that many agents and there’s more community getting involved where ICE can’t drive down the street. Remember the people have more power.

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Ha.

That's not how laws work.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago
[-] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago
[-] sneaky@r.nf 1 points 2 months ago

There's no rules anymore. If you find a rule that stops them from protecting the regime or executing the regime's objectives, they'll change it. There is no point clinging to any of these written rules. We are slowly entering a war zone. None of the people who could stop this are doing it. I will say this is my own opinion (for now) as a disclaimer... But the way I see it is this: if the military doesn't turn on trump then it will eventually become the responsibility of the citizens. We're frogs in boiling water and I am absolutely terrified.

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
