I have been wondering at what point "immigrants" became "migrants" and why. In my mind, the former sounds like "they came from outside the border" and the latter sounds like "they're always on the move". I somehow missed the memo on this but I've been noticing it for probably over a year.

You have a right to resist unlawful kidnappings of yourself or another under self defence laws. Yes I know we're not enforcing the laws as written right now, but it still matters. Self defense action is warranted and just. Group defence has prorected Americans from ICE before, for example barricading agents out of a suspects house. Be prepared, and when the moment calls for action, act swiftly.
You need to roll with a large group to have that effect. And even then the police might just drop a bomb on you.
Just be aware that you're putting your life on the line, because they will kill you.
You dont go alone and you don't go empty handed. There's centuries of resistance tactics and skills that are applicable if you're looking for them.
I mean, if immigrants are being sent to an El Salvadorian prison, that's pretty much a death sentence anyway...
Rights are only what the politicians' check writers say they are no matter who is in office
Terry Stops have been a thing for decades and allows police to stop and frisk people, vehicles, ecectera without probable cause
This is apaling. ICE is not even following the law anymore. Shame on them!
They're MAGA Gestapo, it should be in the countries interest in national security to shoot them on sight (but alas, shooting Nazis is illegal now.)
Have they ever? Now they are just doing it openly.
I remeber in 2020 during the BLM riots there were plain cloths ice agents kidnapping protesters into unmarked vehicles.
ICE was used as secret police openly during the last Trump term.
Were those ICE? I thought it was Bureau of Prisons people that he brought in.
They were any federal agent that volunteered. So anyone with a badge in federal employment.
