State legislatures across the country are accelerating efforts to shape immigration enforcement policy after the deadly shooting of a Minnesota woman by a federal agent, raising tensions between local leaders and the Trump administration.
From California to New York and Illinois to New Jersey, they’re pushing a range of bills aimed at limiting enforcement and protecting people targeted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, while turning up the rhetoric with comparisons to the Gestapo.
ICE is going door to door in the Twin Cities now.
Like “are you hiding any jews in this house” style??
Yes apparently
I am not sure what point you’re trying to make spamming this. It’s no good to resist? Bend the knee because they’re armed?
The point is that it’s irrelevant what the law says ICE can or can’t do. They can and will enter without a warrant. Your rights don’t exist anymore.
Okay but our messaging shouldn’t be “it’s useless to resist,” we need more people to resist in any capacity they can.
Who’s saying it’s useless to resist? I’m saying it’s useless to rely on the law to protect you
the meme can be interpreted that way, and was originally used to portray some level of naivety on the part of the victim.
The meme is saying that if you’re being robbed, you need to fight, they aren’t going to stop because it’s illegal. My understanding of the meme is it’s mocking the idea that following the rules will protect you from corrupt police. Your rights won’t protect you
Don’t answer. They can’t come in without a warrant. If they do shoot first ask questions later.
A few things to keep in mind here:
If they’re kicking in MY door they’re up to no good. There’s no probable cause here. So they’re either going to drag me off and do stuff to me or I’m gonna die fighting them.
I know people get on here and talk a big game. But this is my hill.
Minnesota does. The use of force must be proportional to the threat. And how they are entering.
“If they do shoot first and ask questions later”
Correct. And they will walk away.
Edit: apparently this is not true anymore.
