ICE Can Now Enter Your Home Without a Warrant to Look for Migrants, DOJ Memo Says (dailyboulder.com)

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.

This sounds like a quick way to end up dead, enable Fox News to portray ICE as the victim and for ICE to use as an excuse to implement a policy of shooting first and asking questions later

If you wish to pursue this route be sure to look into what the Black Panthers did; namely not pointing guns at law enforcement or violating any laws; merely arriving in numbers with guns

The numbers is important. One person with a gun won't be able to tell their side of the story if they are killed by an officer

Compliance doesn’t equate to safety. El Salvador is going to become a death sentence without trial soon enough

This sounds like you're making excuses. These people are claiming your basic rights as their playthings.

That's a line you just don't cross. Time to update my front door shotgun to a front door AK.

AKs are fucking beast, I love mine for home protection

All the things you fear are already happening. Might as well resist.

If you come through my door. Federal officer, Local Cop, or Criminal. And you do not have a written warrant to enter my property. I will see you in hell after taking a few of you with me. Know what I mean?

We all know what you mean, but it’s not going to fix for anyone (your dead body included).
