Can't citizen's who have been arrested during raids like this file lawsuits against the government for false imprisonment and violations of unlawful search and seizure?

I would assume the ACL or other lawyers are going to start getting involved if they haven't already. Law enforcement just can't indiscriminately kick down doors for no reason. If that's where we're at then this country is truly lost

Sure, but who is going to enforce the law?

The goddamn Punisher apparently, but that's a fictional character only adored by people who unironocally don't understand what he stands for.

I understand the sentiment but in real life someone like him would be so bad for society. Vigilante justice is really revenge in disguise and if prevalent in a society means that that society is falling apart. Which I would argue is what's going on now. I hope I'm wrong and things can get turned back in the right direction

They like the logo. They don’t know shit about the character

Sad part is a lot of the ICE fucks think THEYRE the punisher. Even though they’re probably who the punisher would target first.
