Summary

Since Donald Trump’s return to office, ICE and DEA agents have intensified immigration enforcement, conducting door-to-door sweeps in Colorado.

Initially targeting suspected criminals, recent operations now question all residents, regardless of warrants. A Denver apartment complex saw widespread searches, sparking protests and fear among undocumented families.

Activists and attorneys are mobilizing to inform residents of their rights. Schools report growing student anxiety.

Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, confirmed a broad crackdown, declaring, “If you’re in the country illegally, you’re on the table.”

Tell them to suck your dick and get a warrant, that is what I would do. Unconstitutional douchebags need to learn the constitution one insult at time.

[–] straightjorkin@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Also make sure to check their warrants when they have them, they often only get an administrative warrant which doesn't mean dick

[–] LemmyFeed@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 days ago

If they have a warrant they can break my door down to enforce it.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 32 points 3 days ago (1 children)

And then they shoot you in the head and it's fine because this is Trump's America.

Stop resisting! Oh my god, officer down, officer down! Get backup!

that's exactly what you should do, and if you're not the target you should get a megaphone, learn a few phrases in spanish, and show up at the ICE raid to tell them that

[–] fine_sandy_bottom@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

that is what I would do

No you wouldn't.

[–] commander@lemmings.world 5 points 2 days ago

Yeah. I just wouldn't respond to them.

Doesn't hurt to know your legal rights, but we're also in "put people in a concentration camp" territory now, so they will likely be ignored.

[–] gift_of_gab@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago (16 children)

The thing is you have to force them to do it illegally, brutally, while people can see it. If you give in, if you agree to things, it's too easy for them.

Yes, many people who stand up to them will die. It's already been allowed to get to that point. Yet if you sit back and give in, it happens so much more quickly, and much more brutally.

This is especially true if you're white, or at least not openly a minority. If you're a middle aged white male, make them go through you. It's dangerous, you might not make it, so make sure you're ready. White men standing up to them, constantly, is cognitive dissonance to them. They'll expect you to always be on your side, and when everyone isn't, they stumble.

If people constantly resist them at every angle they will fail. We will lose good people doing it, and we have to.

Yet another disgraceful and dark stain in American history books with the fascist pig Homan working hard to ruin peoples’ lives for no reason other than petty cruelty.

Hmmmm those are paper thin plate carriers. Makes you think.

[–] YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH@infosec.pub 28 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Are you telling me these tacticool cops aren’t actually operators?

[–] horse_battery_staple@lemmy.world 24 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I mean those bump helmets are definitely representative of ICE at large, useless security theater to give fragile white egos an unearned sense of safety.
