It remains unclear whether the Trump administration will apply the law in this way. But such an interpretation, experts say, would infringe on basic civil liberties.

    Uh gestures broadly around

    Pretty certain we can assume that it will.

    If I saw ICE coming to my door as a minority, I would be shooting. There is no longer a gaurantee you will have a fair case before court, or even a court case at all.

      They’ve forced children as young as 6 to defend themselves in court with no right to an attorney, and it’s been going on for years. The right to counsel isn’t applied to immigration cases. It’s truly insane, kangaroo court shit.

      If the interpretation that they don’t need a warrant stands, it means that ICE could walk into anybody’s home, abduct their child, accuse them of being an illegal immigrant, do a show trial, and then ship them off to Guantanamo Bay where no press is allowed. Or, for all we know, to Little St. James or anywhere else.

      If they “believe” a law gives them some right (to enter a home) then I “believe” I have the right to enter their body with a ballistic projectile.

    Well if warrants are off the table now, I guess we just start shooting whenever?

    Weird, but whatever. Okay.

    Why has no one bitch slapped this idiot and pointed out that there has been no declaration of war and the law in question cannot be legally invoked? Honestly, how does this clown keep getting away with this shit?

    Don’t forget to stock up on hollow points. Breaking their oath to the Constitution is going to have some repercussions

    Never been a better time to end the person breaking into your house.

    Best case: you kill a terrorist and get off on self defense.

    Likely outcome: you eat a dozen bullets and die.

    No defense outcome: you get a free flight to a concentration camp in a country you may or may not have ever been to, you suffer, then you die.

      Probably not as much as the people trying to protect their families. Average household 4-6 people inside? They’ll send 24 then. Double that after the first agent casualty.

        You be surprised what a family will do. Also ICE doesn’t have that many agents and there’s more community getting involved where ICE can’t drive down the street. Remember the people have more power.

      Juridical laws aren’t like physical laws. You can change them however you want. There is no any objective limitation.

      So laws work the way the master wants them to.

        Except this is written law, it’s pretty clear in the constitution. If the state refuses to respect our inalienable rights then the citizens are left with few options on how to respond
