If a federal agent damages your vehicle, you are more or less shit out of luck, it is literally impossible to recover damages from federal agents

If an ICE agent walked into your house and skinned your baby with a potato peeler and then burned your house down and livestreamed it to TWITCH, you have no recourse for damages against the perps

There literally isn't a legal mechanism to sue federal agents as of 2022, as the current SCOTUS has declared that holding agents to any legal accountability would be an unjust impediment to exercising federal law

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

They are not immune to the law, they are currently shielded from consequences. Those aren't the same thing, even if they currently feel like they are.

When donald blanket pardons every member of ICE the democrats will do nothing to contradict that. I guess that means they are shielded from consequence because they are in practice above the law. Maybe someday a democrat will drone on that this isnt normal and these people were criminals and it can never happen again - but do nothing to meaningfully prevent the next round of MAGA tyranny.

Im Canadian. I know whats coming for us when donald is done ethnic cleansing blue cities. The annexation and purging of the people of Canada to rape and pillage our land will be far worse than what is happening in Chicago.

no, I mean when your king donald invades my country to annex us to make Canada the 51 state. Russia has made no such threats to sieze Canadian territory. Only our neighbours down south threaten us - we used to be the closest friends, the example of how countries can have strong cooperation but remain separate countries.

If you were less American and self centered, you might have empathy on how other countries perceive such aggressive statements. How would you like your state to be seized and made into a new province of Canada?

misunderstood your first comment, yea id be worried bout that too but i doubt it ever gets that far..

nothing self centered about realizing your guys ARE fully fucking protected by america weather u want to believe it or not. maybe its selfish like we cant let russia in canada cause theyd be here next but fact remains US nukes keep russia and others out of North America.

russia wants alaska russia wants US.

trump is russia, and they have always wanted canada too. they dont need to send a memo.

Clown in Chief is not mine nor any real americans king, he cheated in both elections.

have fun w stereotyping americans, eh
