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.

    I think trump is a fwit, but sounds like there will be more than 1 bodybag leaving.

    Not a good survival strategy for your family honestly…

    Better off moving somewhere safe like Australia. No guns here. No idea why anyone would want to live in that shit hole anymore with all the corruption, shitty leaders, dangerous living environment, and uneducated idiots in charge

      The way I see it, if ICE is trying to come into my home without a warrant, then they already intend for me to die. I’m a white natural born US citizen, but I’ve made my stance on kings in this country pretty clear, so a visit from the SS is a factor I have to be ready for. I’d rather die at home, taking a many of them with me as I can, then quietly allowing them to send me to a death camp, if I had to choose.

      We don’t want to live here right now, but we don’t have the finances to leave. So instead, we’re going to protect our home, and continue to support and participate in the actions against tyranny that we can. Protests, pressure on other elected officials to resist as well, etc.

      Edit: Besides, if evil comes to your country and knocks at your door, shouldn’t you fight it?
