    Ah, they robbed them too while they were at it. If they take your shit and give no information on how to get it back, how is it not stolen?

    I guess anyone moving to a new address should assume the gestapo can show up whenever they please looking for former residents.

    And if they were the “suspects,” it would have been much, much worse. She might have never seen her children again. Not because she did anything wrong or there was anything wrong with her visa, but just because they’d written her name down and decided today was her day.

    Now imagine all the other families that have been traumatized by ICE. Are people going to stand up and support one another?

      While defending yourself in a no knock situation could be warranted, we can’t pretend that ICE wouldn’t have then murdered the whole family. You might be able to find a sympathetic judge and jury but that’s not worth much when you and / or people you care about are dead.

        That’s assuming they’ll be left in peace after the illegal gestapo raid. Who’s to say that said gestapo’s not going to put them in a truck and send him to a concentration camp in El Salvador. People have no choice but to defend themselves as if ice is at your door they’re going to kill you. Because that’s the implication

        Mate, Ive never wanted a gun for more than pew pew at the range. However, we are at the point where our 2a right to defend ourselves is actually relevant.

        There are masked, plainclothes officers abducting people off the street. How do I know that they are within their legal rights?

        Trump is approving breaking into peoples houses without a warrant. How do I know they have a legal right to do so?

        I’m not trigger happy. If you show me a signed warrant and identify yourself so that I can verify who you are, we got no problems. Otherwise, how do I know you are who you say you are?

          That’s simple. They don’t, ever. Unless the 4th amendment has been repealed, all of these raids are illegal.

          That’s not going to stop you from being shot or prosecuted if you defend yourself, though.
