Looks like if you re approached by ICE, you need to assume it's a kidnapping.
And being sent to El Salvador is a death sentence. I would act in self-defense appropriately.
Glad to hear it. State law is not your friend, and now, it's your enemy. If you're targeted, the vest that says POLICE (or ICE) means nothing. They are just people in a fancy outfit. They're still there to intrude and fuck up your life.
Laying down doesn't save these people any more.
Because it 100% is a kidnapping. This is so freaking dangerous and entrapping.
And compliance will not save you
At this point, you’re fucked, might as well arm yourself. Rather go out like that then be tortured in a foreign prison.
This, or republican representatives growing a spine/conscience, are the only ways this stops.
The first of those is a non-starter, so what I’m saying is, this is the ONLY way this stops.
I’m Canadian who hates guns, and my wife is Bolivian. We live in rural Saskatchewan, but in light of “51st state” talk we have have purchased firearms and hit the gun range a few times in the last couple months. Do we think the two of us can stop the US military, should it come to that? Of course not. Have we had the conversation about what we would do and what we’re willing to sacrifice together for our country? Goddamn right we have. We have a pretty good life and are fairly well off- but we’re both absolutely fine going out together and taking out as many MAGA shitheads out as we can, if needed. If we had young kids the calculus would maybe be a bit different- but we don’t, and it isn’t.
All this to say, if we lived in the US, we would absolutely be armed to the teeth.
Indeed, do not cooperate and fight back. They are NOT a legal authority. If they have a uniformed officer with them (state or city), demand the officer arrest you instead. It MAY be worth it to cause a scuffle and get arrested for assault, which could be dropped as self defense. I'm not a lawyer though, just my opinion. You have to fight these assholes. Get the low level pukes into court and tied up fighting charges. Make them scared to do their master's bidding.
