The March 14 directive, signed by Attorney General Pam Bondi, uses an obscure 18th-century law — the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 — to give law enforcement nationwide the power to bypass basic constitutional protections.

According to the memo, agents can break into a home if getting a warrant is “impracticable,” and they don’t need a judge’s approval. Instead, immigration officers can sign their own administrative warrants. The bar for action is low — a “reasonable belief” that someone might be part of a Venezuelan gang is enough.

This sounds like a quick way to end up dead, enable Fox News to portray ICE as the victim and for ICE to use as an excuse to implement a policy of shooting first and asking questions later

If you wish to pursue this route be sure to look into what the Black Panthers did; namely not pointing guns at law enforcement or violating any laws; merely arriving in numbers with guns

The numbers is important. One person with a gun won't be able to tell their side of the story if they are killed by an officer

Compliance doesn’t equate to safety. El Salvador is going to become a death sentence without trial soon enough

This sounds like you're making excuses. These people are claiming your basic rights as their playthings.

That's a line you just don't cross. Time to update my front door shotgun to a front door AK.

AKs are fucking beast, I love mine for home protection

If you come through my door. Federal officer, Local Cop, or Criminal. And you do not have a written warrant to enter my property. I will see you in hell after taking a few of you with me. Know what I mean?

We all know what you mean, but it’s not going to fix for anyone (your dead body included).

All the things you fear are already happening. Might as well resist.
