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.
America you got a nazi problem
I’ve been thinking for years “at what point is America gonna make a vigilante movement to keep their police in check”… at this point, I suppose they may just not.
My biggest issue is I’m not a fan of ‘collateral’ damage.
If I actually witness something, then I can act.

They did this on a Friday hoping to use it through the weekend before the courts challenge it on Monday. This is going to be a terrible weekend for a lot of people.
If you’re a citizen, look out for your neighbors. Be ready to record video if you see ICE in your neighborhood.
Did they repeal the 4th amendment when I wasn’t looking?
Were you looking in 2001?
I was very much looking then. Lost many friends speaking against the PATRIOT Act and protesting against the invasion of Iraq.
Is the 4th null and void?
Try the 2nd?
moral abiguity, i’ll fist 'em…

While this is true, I still can’t see it as being a viable form of resistance to tyranny in a case like that mentioned in the post. The government won’t accept an appeal to one’s second amendment rights as a valid defense when it’s their own agents committing the offense.
It only works when used against a minority or desperate poor person.
Last few months?! Blacks, women and LGBT have been the largest gun buying demographic since 2020 or so. Some appeared to have gotten the memo.
The irony of them using the alien act, which tarnished Adams’ legacy. If they had any shame they’d be feeling it
Shall I offer them milk?
Leaded milk
Some Hans Landa shit…
