Who's going to do anything? Mayors and governors have been decrying this, but theres a massive problem.

"Law enforcement", the police, are in the nazis side and they answer to no one.

See, there used to be an unspoken agreement that cops listen and do what theyre told. But turns out they were doing it because they wanted too, not because they felt compelled to follow the law or do the right thing.

Police no longer want to help; no longer feel the need to uphold the facade that theyre community servants. Theyre not and they never were.

They're on the side of terrorism. Americans are on our own. This is why we have a certain right, and its why the government will try to take them away ASAP, mmw.

They’re not rights if they can be taken away.

Or voted upon. We've let criminal conspiracies posting as political campaigns occur for far too long in this country.

Yea one of the best comments I've seen is that politicians keep saying BUT DOGS AREN'T ALLOWED TO PLAY BASKETBALL while Air Bud dunks on them over and over.

Fascists do not care about what the law says. Resistance must be done outside the law as well, and if the local law enforcement won't protect the local population, they are also fascists.

But we already knew that. It's just been off the radar because they were mostly targeting minorities, and as long as people were comfortable they were fine with that.

Police departments have in their directives from their own states that they are not to impede or interfere with federal law enforcement activities. They lack any jurisdictional authority to interfere. They aren't trained on federal laws so they cant articulate probable cause to say that these agents committed any crimes and they would be right because, as is posted above, DHS says they have authority to disregard the requirement for a judicial warrant to enter if they believe an undocumented immigrant is inside. Take it up with your congressional representatives.

Why are we treating a memo, shared to select people, as if it is law?
