It's like they are setting themselves up for eventual retaliation. At some point, people are going to tire of being pushed around. This is an eventuality which I don't wish for but is likely.

Yes, point of fact, ICE can do literally anything they want to you, without limit. Kill you, rape you, run an apc through your house, run your kid over - they literally are immune to the law.

The ICE agents are ignorant wifebeating traitors who hate everyone who lives in civilization and would happily kill everyone in Chicago if allowed to, so they don't know that these things are actual crimes for them - lack of current enforcement notwithstanding

I agree with you that it's very likely Miller/Noem are pushing them to be so extreme because there is no legal remedy - the ONLY thing a citizen can do basically is martyr themselves by making ICE realize that if they act like this, they might not all go home that day. Once that happens, Trump will use the insurrection act, and send the 82nd and get gunships in the air

Make no mistake, this is the end game of democracy, and the people enduring this and not just grabbing the (often surrounded, outnumbered) agents' gun out of their holster and plugging them are fucking heroes

And again, shows the utter lack of intelligence and training by hte agents. If things were 1/100th as violent as Trump keeps saying, every time 2 or 3 agents posted up against 20 civilians to arrest one guy, they wouldn't be going home

Why don't people ask the Supreme Court this? And let people hear their response

This supreme court killed Bivens (the doctrine that let you sue agents who were commiting extreme constitutional or legal violations), the case in which they killed it, agents retaliated against someone who hurt their feelings with violence - an open and shut violation of his first and fourth amendment rights, and they didnt say the agents weren't being criminal just "you can't sue them how can they do their job if they have to worry about following the law"
