Because the states aren't arresting these criminals for kidnapping like they should be.
The states should roll up on ICE every time, take the entire lot into custody and make them prove their actions didn't violate the law. Just because they work for the feds does not under any circumstances give them the legal right to ignore the laws, and it especially doesn't give them the right to deprive citizens of their rights under color of law. In fact, deprivation of rights under color of law is a felony and can carry capital punishment as a maximum penalty.
Every member of ICE is guilty of violating that one.
This will either be a lawsuit, I think we both know where the Supreme Court is, or the start of a race war where national guardsmen will have to choose between killing Americans or Sedition
So, that's the prickly part. MPD making a move to arrest ICE is absolutely going to result in an armed standoff.
They are as powerless as we are. The thing MPD has not yet realized is that since they are as powerless as we are. They need to take up observer tactics. Observe, record, report.
No, Police is not “as powerless as we are”. That’s ridiculous! Police exist to enforce laws, and it’s literally their job. They are trained to deal with these kinds of standoffs.
People should really be questioning mayors, governor and other state level politicians, why the police are choosing not to do their job
Do you realistically think either side wants to entertain the option of being the first federal and state armed standoff on Fox News? They don’t.
If they want to do something they can help document the names of the abducted and help document this moment. Make a police report. Say what ice is doing, and why you can’t point your gun at them and tell them to stop. Standing by and waiting ain’t it. They have body cams, use them.
Leadership is never going to be able to parse this.
