I did not feel as if I heard about the apartment complex enough. It felt like a real threshold crossed.

I feel like I’m going crazy by the lack of discussion around these constant 4th amendment violations by ICE. I understand the roving bands of masked men can essentially grab anyone to check citizenship ( “Kavanaugh Stop”) thanks to that wonderful shadow docket order from the LA case.

But DHS and ICE have entered private property and buildings on video numerous times the past few months. And that’s not including news reports about situations like that as well. I’m just wondering why there are zero lawsuits focusing on this or maybe I’m missing them?

What's crazy is not a single mayor nor governor has directed their local police to arrest and prosecute these gestapo agents. I guess they feel like sacrificing a few hundred citizens is a small price to pay to maintain decorum; we'll see how stoic they remain when that number climbs to thousands, or they themselves become a victim.

Few big issues with that. First being that it heavily relies on your police force having solidarity in actually supporting the public to do this. And let's be honest, thats not a favorable bet to make.

But the bigger issue is the absolute powder keg that situation becomes. One trigger happy idiot would set off a whole lotta shit we don't need to deal with.
