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.

    Having read the title and also the whole article… Let me say. The fuck no you can’t. Let’s get letigious or let’s get the vests. I’ve got over 200 years of jurisprecisence and the moral high road. We can skip the cultural perogative if you really want to. Or in this case you can endorse it. It doesn’t matter to me. as a cisgender white male and, and prolific gun owner, who is utterly tired of this already, let’s fuckin go. I’ve been waiting and i’ve finally got the perfect set up to tell you how many ways you can blow it out your ass.

    Disgusting anti American anti constitutional blowhards all of them.

      Love this energy. Get litigious first. The thugs like violence, but they cant win at court - at least not without their favourite judges.

        This prescident isn’t giving time to be litigious first. They will be in your home before you can dial 911, whom is likely helping this happen.

        Haha thanks. I’ll be honest. That post was made with a fair bit of unintentional inebriation, but I stand behind it. Don’t do social media and imbibe, kids. But the message maintains. I’ve got a whole lot of privilege that the world said I should be careful and mindful of. I’ve been polite and aware and I’ve sincerely tried to not abuse it. I know how my lot in life has been easier than most . But now I’m ready to take full advantage of that. Let’s fuckin go and let’s make them write more checks their asses can cash. Because collection day is very very close.

      While I’m on board, as a white cisgender male who can afford a lawyer, the problem comes when you add it to the other human rights violations of this administration. What are you going to do when guys in ski masks and overwhelming force break down your door and kidnap you out of the country. Then claim “it’s not possible to give everyone a hearing”, much less an appeal or any other due diligence? Nor can they send anyone back, even when they were wrong

      It may only be for “those people” so far but we’ve arrived at gestapo midnight raids to fill concentration camps
