The asswipes have yet to apply their SS and NKVD home invasions in a Stand Your Ground Oblast.

Minnesota supports castle doctrine, or so I've read.

It isn’t, and it does.

It says ICE agents are allowed to forcibly enter a person’s home using an administrative warrant if a judge has issued a “final order of removal.” Administrative warrants permit officers and agents to make arrests and are different from judicial warrants, which judges or magistrates sign allowing entry into homes.

It’s basically a new legal theory (like the bush torture memos you can just make them up) and they’re claiming the preexisting administrative warrant is good enough

It's illegal as fuck.

The constitution give you a right to organize 30 of your neighbors, armed with guns, and chase them out of your neighborhood.

You also have the right to put buckshot into the face of anyone who illegally breaks into your home.

Just when these American citizens needed their rights the most...their government took them away. and rights aren't rights if someone can take em away. They're priveledges. That's all we've ever had in this country is a bill of TEMPORARY priviledges; and if you read the news, even badly, you know the list get's shorter, and shorter, and shorter.

There’s a longer version of this great routine by George Carlin, as well as recordings from live shows. I highly recommend reading the whole thing - it helps put a lot of this into perspective.

Its not, republicans stacked the courts so they can violate the law and republicans in congress are cheering them on.

As if Trumps GeStaPo would care about the Constitution! The rule of law died in the US about a year ago.

Wow. ELI5 on Lemmy is way different from ELI5 on Reddit.

Way better imo

Laws are threats made by the dominant socioeconomic ethnic power in a given nation, it's just a promise of violence enacted with the police acting as an occupying army.

And if the police don't enforce those threats, they have no meaning. The police are not enforcing the laws that ICE is breaking, and therefore what they're doing is effectively legal.

They’re all above the law. That’s how. Democracy and law and order are gone.
