They're already ignoring law. Stop looking for loopholes and start looking for safe shooting positions.
Pretty sure a 'hidden' room is a good spot to shoot from if that's the decision you're going to make.
It will make it more obvious they are about to enter it somehow.
edit: Also boobytraps would probably be effective at that point as well.
Just remember, an annoyed invader that has no external challenge can just set your house on fire and smoke you out, boobytraps or no.
You think ICE is going to go as far as lighting houses on fire to get someone to exit?
Not necessarily ICE, but 1. I wouldn't put it past them. and 2. If even a lame-ass civil war largely in name only erupts, you bet your ass fascist pieces of shit would torch someone's house before they put themselves in actual proved danger.
