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.
Look, I’m going to risk… being misunderstood here… but I’m going to link to this article by way of pointing out how using subject lines that inspire disgust and apathy is how corporate social media works to divide and paralyze people. It’s in this article and it’s something to think about:

Considering ICE likes to abduct people in masks, civilian clothing and without any identification and thus are easily confused with burglars, i’d say shoot on sight for trespassing would be a viable option.
Read as: Enter your home under the false pretense they’re looking for migrants, so they can search for any reason to charge you with a crime and toss you in a camp.
Sounds like a second amendment solution.
Oops, thought it was a republican breaking into my house. ICE does love wearing those masks because they know what they’re doing is wrong, sorry not sorry.
And it was. I don’t like guns, but I live in a shithole with fascists 🤷
If a bunch of armed guys in masks show up refusing to identify themselves or provide warrants, what do you think most people would assume they are???
In a country with more guns than people, this seems line an insanely stupid tactic that guarantees preventable tragedies.
Warrants get rubber stamped on a regular basis, the argument that it’s suddenly too onerous a burden and they’re just allowed to ignore our constitutional rights is pretty fucking absurd too.
It’s the rubber stamping that is the problem. Sometimes they get a talking to when they get too rambunctious and kill a few innocent bystanders. Now there’s no rules to bind them, so have at er!
law enforcement isn’t known for it’s critical thinking
Like fuck they can.
I’m not fucking going to El Salvador.
This is fucked.
And yet people keep telling me Democrats are just as bad.
Those GOSH DARN Democrats keep trying to feed and house immigrants with MY TAX DOLLARS.
Instead of putting them in cages and throwing them in prison. (AGAIN WITH TAX DOLLARS.)
So… where is that outrage from preppers and gun enthusaists of the government barging into their homes?
Can you image if Biden, Obama, or even Bush did this?
There would literally be a massive armed mob outside the White House.
Turns out guns are useless in the face of propaganda, I guess.
See they are not coming for their guns, so there does not appear to be a problem. Yet.
Can’t wait to see it clash when someone blows away an ICE agent in a castle state
Once upon a time, German authorities decided to raid the home, or rather estate, of the local Hell’s Angel boss. Police (SEK) came up to the door in civilian clothes and balaclavas, announced themselves as police. Boss inside panics, thinks it’s a rival gang trying to take him out, grabs a shotgun, shoots a police through the door. Ultimately gets apprehended.
Police file murder charges. State attorney downgrades that to manslaughter. Judge says “WTF that was self defence if police don’t want to get shot through the door they shouldn’t be running around ringing doorbells in civilian clothes and balaclavas anybody can shout ‘police open up!’”. Still got nailed for illegal possession of firearms on top of everything else he was wanted for, of course. Welcome to German law where you can legally stand your ground with a full auto but are not allowed to own one.
The person who would that, if they are somehow still alive, will be crucified by the state.
Yep
No way. The courts would set them free.
I wish I was that optimistic
Cuz the Blondie General sez so.
Oh, I literally just remembered my Mexican ex-roomie still gets his mail sent to my house
Well, everyone, the gun kept by the door for this exact reason is looking more and more like Im right to have it… Fuck
Keep it ready, but make sure it is also safely secured as well.
The law nerd in me is intrigued by the idea of a Third Amendment issue arising in the wild.
The citizen in me is horrified that they’d even fucking try.
For some reason, I keep thinking that people used to booby trap their doors to discourage these types of activities. I vaguely think this was an IRA thing?
Not sure if it actually happened or it was just something from a movie, but I’m curious what would happen after a few ICE raids were turned into meat sauce by door mounted claymores.
I have a snake by my door. She’s a completely harmless sweetheart, but nothing makes people think twice like answering the door while holding a snake.
The reason it’s illegal, is to protect firefighters and paramedics in case they need to enter a home.
What if this hypothetical booby-trap happens to be a fire suppression system that dispenses BandAids after ejecting the fascist piglets back out the front door at 300psi?
It’s illegal. And they wouldn’t change their policies.
They don’t care about their agents.
Yeah what you need to do is 2nd amendment some of those house invaders under the castle doctrine of your State
I’m sure they will only apply castle doctrine to non members of the state. So if you shoot an ice officer breaking into your house, without a warrant. They will still be found guilty of murder, if they are somehow taken alive.
