The main question is how legal would it be to shoot at masked armed gang breaking into your home to kidnap you and your family without any judicial warrant.
Because that is exactly what the 2nd amendment is for
"Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6"
I mean FFS, at this point ICE might kill you just for fun.
Immigration proceedings aren't before a full court with a jury. It's an administrative proceeding. So, there isn't even the 12.
I'm pretty sure the trial involving the self defense against armed masked gangs would not be an immigration court.
