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.

      When did they mention migrants at all? The way this is written up is that anyone can be acted upon, all it requires is a “reasonable belief” that someone might be part of a Venezuelan gang. And lets face it, if they have their way no one will be checking anyone’s documents before, during or after these raids.

    “Hiel Trump” is required when people meet in public or private. Any hesitation must be treated with aggressive concern and reported to all, immediately. This is the only way to keep America safe from (insert current list of threats).

      I’m sure the other people living in the US legally that were shipped off to El Salvador thought the same thing.

        Abrego Garcia is the only one viewed as a “legal citizen”, despite entering the country illegally.

        Give me a list of legal citizens that have been deported to El Salvador.

          Just to be clear, Abrego Carcia was not viewed as a US citizen but was in the US legally. This could be the same case for many others that have been sent to the prison camp but how exactly are we supposed know when none of them have been their due process?

          How can it even be acceptable to send someone to a foreign prison indefinitely without sentence, even if they were in the US illegally?

      Lol do you think that actually matters to these people?

      With hate like this the goal posts are always moving, searching for a new scapegoat…

      You are a fool if you think that process won’t turn against you.

          Here is the thing I don’t get, you didn’t win this interaction. I demonstrated that you are a disengenous fool, in public, and you walked away from this interaction looking like a hateful idiot to everybody else in this conversation.

          If that is “taking the bait” I mean ok? I love taking the bait then.

          Sometimes I think trolls don’t realize that in a system like this, trolling people with edgey disengenous comments that try to push a line of “just joking with my hate but am I?” totally backfires and provides a massive public platform to be picked apart by people that aren’t full of shit.

          Every time you interact with someone like me and get your ass handed to you from people pointing out you are a shallow asshole, you lose? You make people that hold your beliefs look weak, unable to rhetorically defend their positions beyond kneejerk hate and just plain unattractive.

          If your objective is to stoke xenophobia and hate by encouraging people to hate illegal immigrants you just did the opposite by publicly taking that position and then showing how hateful and shallow your reasons were for taking that position… which reflects badly in most peoples eyes on the whole anti-immigrant vibe.

          Y’all are a bunch of loser incels, and I hope you keep providing us opportunities to point that out in public :)

      Badge or not, without a warrant it’s straight breaking and entering. Treat them as any common criminal breaking into your home since they are just cosplaying LE at that point

      I’m sure they will only apply castle doctrine to non members of the state. So if you shoot an ice officer breaking into your house, without a warrant. They will still be found guilty of murder, if they are somehow taken alive.

    Fun Fact: In Indiana, you can legally convert ICE agents into a fine red mist if they try this.

    They have no legal protections while breaking the law.

      Problem is… It then gets reduced to you shooting at people, and people shooting at you. That’s seems like lose lose situation.
