Illegal you say? Sounds like a solution to me. The law has gone away when the iceholes are around.

It's in their right to form a gated community if they want. And valid warrants are required to enter.

Gonna start with: Fuck ICE.

As to your comment about a gated community, there some logistics around it such as the loss of city/county maintenance of roads and usually trash service. Yes they are well within their rights but it does create a lot of additional headaches.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Trash service is private, you're either paying your community to pay the company or paying the company directly. Not a big difference.

Correct but it’s still logistics exactly the same as the road. You’re either paying the community to fix your roads (via taxes) or paying the company directly. You also lose a lot of the economies of scale and negotiating power as you’re now a smaller entity.

Brave badasses.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's what the police was supposed to be doing.

been yelling at my Mayor. no, not signing a collaboration agreement isnt enough. they need to make sure no white supremacist mask paramilitary gang conducting ethnic cleansing for pedophiles should be allowed to step foot without being arrested.

police standing by, not protecting their community is still them being complicit. ACAB for sure. but in theory (based on copaganda), fighting crime and protecting people was the whole point of them having the most overblown budget in the city.

I've been saying for a few weeks now that Minnesotans need to form a citizens militia of some sort. Neighbors protecting neighbors from the fascist paramilitary thugs roaming the streets and conducting warrantless searches and illegal detentions.

This is a big step in the right direction.

You don't have to march out into the streets and have a shootout with ICE to send a very clear and intimidating message - real American patriots look out for their friends and neighbors, and Trump's thugs are not welcome anywhere and should watch their backs constantly and sleep with one eye open.

One might say that a well-regulated militia is necessary to the security of a free state!

[–] TrollTrollrolllol@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

At the caucus last night we made a resolution of such - If our 'well regulated militia' is our national guard, than we need to fight to make sure that some authoritarian can't come in, nationalize them and turn them against the people of their state. We also resolved that no national guard troops from another state be allowed to operate in a law enforcement capacity in our state. I think there's still too many in the DFL who think we should be reaching across the aisle but I say the time for that is done.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago (3 children)

"Reaching across the aisle" despite decades of bad faith is how we got here. The time for that is indeed long past.

As far as the Framers of the Constitution's intent, it's very well known that they were vehemently opposed to tyranny, so if the federal government becomes such, the "free state" will clearly be those places that it is attempting to oppress.

I swear I've read this sentiment before somewhere....

[–] brygphilomena@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 months ago

I've said they need to create ice free zones like Portland did for police free zones.

This is what I'm talking about!
