An internal memo from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) suggests that agents are authorized to enter the homes of immigrants and citizens alike without a judicial warrant — an assertion that violates the Fourth Amendment and several years of caselaw stating otherwise.

But when you realize that's their goal you have to have a next step is all. I'm not sure what a good one is, either kowtow and submit or fight back and possibly get crushed. The second step will be thought of by someone remembered if things go well. Mean maybe the government just shoots themselves in the foot like the do half the time and spark something on their own too. Maybe doesn't need a thought out second step but that's never something you can count on.

Needs people resisting as a first step for sure though which has been shown in Minneapolis, they are making me happier by the minute to be relatively close to such people. Mean I do wish they didn't have to deal with the situation of course but people showing their distaste for fascism I fully support them.

I am across the border getting threatened bi weekly by the president of the US so it's hard to show direct support.

Unfortunately nothing is a guarantee. Even after the birth of this country Benjamin Franklin said we have a democracy if we can keep it. It would be a shame for the American people to not put up a good fight to try and salvage what we've enjoyed and allow these criminals to take everything our grandparents and great grandparents sacrificed so much for.

A shame is putting it lightly, I agree with that all. Many people died for the US to be what it was, it may not have been the best but they used to do more than shake down everyone to fill their president's pockets.

Now it's a mob racket. I bet people who died in WWII on the allies side would look on the USA now with the wtf? Look.

I think the understated part is that it's letting criminals win. Sure you can hum and haw about legalities of actions but it's the straight up mob running the US right now. Just unfortunately the stupidest crime family.
