DHS secretary seeks military arrests in Los Angeles in leaked letter

Could You Prove You’re a Citizen? For Americans wrongfully detained by ICE, it can be nearly impossible to escape.

  • The problem is that you're probably not lying in wait with a mythical concealed-carry shotgun. Realistic sequences that have happened in the recent past:

    • A couple guys wearing utility company uniforms ask to step inside to diagnose a problem. They then jump you and arrest you.
    • Your camera system stops working due to jamming. Then 15 armed men break through your door and surprise you while you're asleep in bed.
    • Several people in the crowd at your kid's graduation ceremony suddenly surround you and zip-tie your wrists before you realize what's going on.

    You're going to be dealing with a situation where you don't see in advance what's happening, and where you're confronted with a whole batch of people who are heavily armed and wearing body armor. That's a situation where one individual acting alone is very unlikely to succeed in killing an assailant with a gun.

  • Odds of shooting somebody in face when you are ambushed by a larger group of armed men are low.

  • They're wearing body armor. Dude with a concealed gun likely ends up dead, and ICE gets no charges because they were afraid.
