    A few more instances of this in some staunchly liberal communities and there’s gonna be at least an armed standoff between ICE and a local militia (they’re not all conservative). I’m sure that’s the outcome they’re going for; that doesn’t mean it can or should be avoided.

      ICE are cowards. Unless someone is actively watching them, they’ll kidnap people when the opportunity strikes

    Look there’s more than enough handguns in the US of A to arm each and every person who opposes ICE agents kidnapping innocent people illegally. This is not by accident. The second amendment was crafted with this very scenario in mind. It’s time.

    Time to pick up the very arms the Constitution guarantees you have the right to bear to fight the very people your Constitution armed you to fight.

      Always have an escape route ready. Do your thing then get the hell out of there.

    ICE refused to produce a warrant, so this wasn’t an arrest, it was an abduction. The folks who were charged for trying to stop it were acting in defense of others and ought to be acquitted.

    This is exactly why people don’t trust the system. No warrant shown, no explanation given, a terrified child cuffed and dragged away for reacting like any human being would. Local police claim they don’t assist ICE, but when it counts, they show up to protect federal agents instead of their own community. This wasn’t law enforcement, it was a disappearance in broad daylight, and everyone there knew it.

    Reading the article makes it clear that the police support ICE completely. Also that — like ICE —the police are completely lawless.
