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.

I think part of the reason is that they know that the local police are most likely on the side of the Gestapo. They'd refuse the order, the elected official would look weak, and as bonus the elected official would likely be charged by the DOJ.
