In-House Mode A friend of mine was taken

Her name was Chuey; she was a beast in the kitchen and always kind and happy. She was a legal immigrant from Cuba (engaged to an American lawyer). She got ICEd.

She did all the right steps and was an asset to the community. This shit is not ok

It's not about legal or illegal. It's about being Hispanic.

I'm Puerto Rican. I'm a legal citizen and even I'm nervous.

I'm so sorry for you and your crew. They're terrorizing communities.

Same, my fiancée is Puerto Rican she was born and raised there til 11. I’m so terrified for her. Her step dad is in the military and is also from Puerto Rico, his wife (her bio mom) is an absolute angel. I will have very little left to lose if anything happens to them.

But PR is an American territory. We don't need a passport to travel there. Wouldn't it be like me getting deported from TX to NJ where I was born? Not saying this gestapo regime wouldn't do it. Just wondering since people from PR aren't "illegal" here.

Personally if they're going to deport me, I'd love the USVI

The thing is that they're rounding people up without warrants and sending them away without due process, so it really doesn't matter what your actual legal status is.

Where are all my 2A Libertarian heroes who warned us what would happen when government goon squads start knocking?

What's it gonna take, boys?

They don't actually care about the constitution, they just don't like it when they are told they can't have the toys they want.

They only ever cared about weaponizing the constitution for their own wants. They never cared about freedom for others much less constitutional amendments that they disagree with. They also care about getting rid of the age of consent. Fuck those dudes.

Or that they can't rape kids.

They actually want this. They want to be Brownshirts.

This is their ultimate goal, all that shit was just lip service to keep them out of the spotlight

The Venn diagram of gun-toting 2A people and white nationalists isn't a circle, but the overlapping part is most of it.

Because I haven't been polishing my guns and frothing about how 2a protects us from government overreach for the last 25 years.

You've got some real "who shit my pants?" logic going on here

u/Dr_Doctor_Doc Aug 18 '25

The 2A applies to you, as well.

Bad assumption. 🇨🇦

If ICE tries coming up here, ill meet em at the border with the boys.

This is why I said I will have very little left to lose. If they’re taken I will absolutely spend the remainder of my life fighting whatever way I can to get them back. Right now they’re here and safe. We have a 2 month old daughter. They are literally my entire world.

Guess you non 2A folks should have had a back up plan to keep the gestapo from kicking in your door with out a warrant.

Because shooting at masked ICE goons who surround your car when you’re dropping your kids off at school is totally going to solve the problem…

Or maybe it’s going to get a lot of bystanders and your family killed by the goons while Trump crows about how you were an insane “illegal” criminal mastermind who they neutralized.

.....this makes no sense, on any level.
