I live in an area where people ask you where you’re from and if you actually live in the neighborhood. They may assume you don’t speak English, like they have with my wife.
ICE has already gone through the town nextdoor, and I’m waiting for our turn. I’m light-skinned, but my wife and kids are dark with Mayan features. I fear that all anyone has to do to terrorize my family is call a hotline. We have all our citizenship documentation, but that doesn’t matter anymore.
I keep waiting for the day when I’m going to have to defend my family, but I might not even be around when things take place. What if they come take my wife while she’s at work? What if she goes shopping and never comes back?
I have nothing without my family. I have nothing.
“sorry, I don’t get paid to think, I don’t make the laws, I just voluntarily signed up to enthusiastically and brutally enforce them” says the average ICE goon while tearing said document in two.
If you want to make them think a bit, being armed will certainly give them pause for thought.
Armed, but I could use more ammo. I can take my wife to the range while we have vacation time.
Wouldn’t facing then with arms give them more legal reasons to arrest you? I guess it depends on the state?
Worse it gives them legal reasons to just kill your on the spot at this point. If you’re lucky they’ll just tear gas you and beat the shit out of you for threatening them instead.
Shooting at ICE would be a waste of a good life unless there’s some fully organized resistance militia out there none of us know about.
