I don’t see any mention of a warrant.
Not that I’m surprised by that, but to say this is an “escalation” is an understatement.
This is a declaration of absolute power.
Edit: she was released on bond. Meaning a magistrate validated a warrant. Who signed the warrant?
Editl 2: Magistrate Dries did, yesterday. FBI Agent Lindsay Schloemer filed the complaint. Interestinginly Dugar wasn’t the only judge who told the ICE officers to fuck off (in legal terms). She just told them then defendant and his attorney they could leave because ICE didn’t have the correct warrant.
This is not okay.
This is a coup
My local branch of the ICE Enforcement and Removal division is not answering calls. It rings and rings without end.
Senators, governors, and mayors of “sanctuaries” are going to be close behind.
I wonder if militias need to grow because I believe Trump will use everything in his power to destroy the liberals and any opposing force. Military could soon fraction and people will take sides, as one party wants to protect the constitution while the others oppose. Remeber our country was born based on the constitution…We are on the right side of history cause it reflects core American values. You decide to errode that then your not a true American. They will always be traitors considering they are freely defying the constitution now…fuck them and I cant wait til their day comes.
Once the non-loyal judges are imprisoned, everyone else who isn’t white and Republican will also be on the chopping block.
I said this before…when the fuck do we rise up? Or are we going to sit in the pot and boil?
I think you guys are going to sit and boil.
If you ask me, things should have started burning a few months ago.
Unfortunately, this is a exactly what Trump wants. He wants riots and chaos so he can declare martial law and gain even more power and possibly delay or even cancel elections. All of this is calculated.
I dunno about that. This was more or less Chuck Schumers approach to passing his agenda. If you fight him it’s going to get worse, so don’t fight? I feel foreign nationals shouldn’t be leading the charge because of their vulnerability, but for full-fledged us born citizens following the law with their rebuke, surely many would martyr themselves for a historical rally against fascism knowing the ACLU would defend them.
Oh we should absolutely be fighting but not with guns. We should be fighting with the law and protests. We should be confronting these fuckers at every junction. But the moment we pick up a gun or a rock or some other violent means we just give them the excuse to escalate the fascism.
He wants riots and chaos so he can declare martial law and gain even more power and possibly delay or even cancel elections.
And the alternative is sit and let ICE blackbag innocents?
The US has the 2nd amendment, which they love so much. ICE should be getting gunned down in the street by this point.
This is how you guarantee trump’s third term.
It’s already happening. America can passively accept their country is gone, or they can fight to try and save it.
And the minute they begin to fight, Trump locks it all down and America enters into a martial law that I guarantee won’t end before his third term.
If there’s an uprising- it’ll have to be all-or-nothing- and that nothing will come at a heavy cost.
I really hope people know this is exactly what he wants. You’re being baited into giving him everything he needs.
Ok so what, work within the system? The clearly ineffectual system which isn’t working?
You’re right. It’s better to just hide in your homes and hope for the best. Don’t want to play into his hands.
If I’m not mistaken, a full national declaration of martial law would require not only approval of individual state legislatures, but also the loyalty of the military and the National Guard in every state.
By bypassing laws and regulations, totally disregarding checks and balances now that mechanism is compromised, the bastard need not to declare martial law to spread terror.
I think you’re 100% correct.
Kinda hard when only 55% of people disapprove of your king.
Allegedly, it only takes 3.5% of a population to enact change through nonviolent protests. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20190513-it-only-takes-35-of-people-to-change-the-world
Maybe give that an honest try first? Hard to unring a bell.
I blame the “fuck you got mine” mentality that’s become ingrained in Americans. A revolution requires selflessness but Americans aren’t equipped for that.
Agreed, things haven’t been good for years. But since Covid this country went from “we the people” to “me, me, me.”
I feel it started before and it was like that before covid. I’m gen Z and I remember around 2017 the rise of popularity of songs about “me me me being the #1 gang banger the gangster, them bitches love me, them ni**as hating” among the people in my age group, and it sorta just grew from there.
What I noticed during covid and once TikTok style videos became mainstream was sort of a “normalization” or acceptance of the phenomena mentioned above.
Remember Wall-E were everyone in the future is a fat individualistic human being, connected to a bed on wheels with a screen and everyone seems to be doing their own thing with no resemblance of families, couples, friends, goals?
Agreed I’m 42 and personally growing up in the late 80s and 90s I feel like Regan and Rush Limbaugh were both a big influence on the situation the country is in now. And honestly, you can go back to Nixon and JFK getting assassinated as the main focal point from when America stopped being America and became more conservative and for the money and for the wealthy.
Where the hell have you been for the last few years? Americans won’t do shit. The tech oligarchy and the facists have the population exactly where they want them to be, struggling and unable to take actions.
Struggling economically and doom scrolling from the moment they wake up, until they go to bed.
when the fuck do we rise up?
As long as there’s an internet to keep the keyboard warriors happy enough to just complain about it online and then walk away feeling like they’re part of the resistance?
Never.
And the moment there is an uprising, you’ve just given Trump his reason to secure a third term. So, there’s that.
From where I see it- the only way to fight this is to create a functional time machine and go back and tell the ninety one million people smooth-brained dipshits that sitting their asses and whining about genocide in a country they couldn’t have even pointed to on a map a year and a half ago- would result in everything happening now.
This was avoidable.
And now we have to contend with the possibility of having to participate in an absolute shitshow of a bloodbath as the only means to regain the freedoms we had just a few months ago?
I honestly don’t know who’s worse; the far left protest voting- dumbasses that helped put us here, or the far right MAGA voting dumbasses that wanted to put us here.
Hannah Dugan 2028
She might be Supreme Justice material. Here’s hoping that Sanders/AOC considers Hannah Dugan for placement.
Hannah Dugan is a hero and a patriot
Onward we march in goose step with history
Seems like a good way to stop all non citizens from accessing the legal system.
All they have to say is you’re not a citizen.
They’re coming for us all citizens or not
“Judges? Where we’re going, we won’t need judges.” *proceeds to fly away in the original Volkswagen*
Oh thank God! I through the news was quiet today! So now we’re arresting judges. Checks and balances go out the window. Now its just a clear dictatorship.
We’ve had a few evil weeks, I thought we were going to get a dumb week for once.

Trump’s Night of the long knives coming next
Please remember: the ICE “arrests” are KIDNAPPINGS BY NON-UNIFORMED CIVILIANS. UNTIL PROVEN OTHERWISE.
If you see a gang of 4 dudes with beards and guns and jeans and polo shirts … treat it like the kidnapping it is.
I get your sentiment and feel the same way, but that’s just adding death to the equation. I honestly think that is exactly what they want. If they detain you, you still have access to lawyers and others who are working to protect these people. If you’re dead, you can’t to any of that. You can’t defend yourself. The action alone will make you a ‘terrorist’ and therefore justify their actions.
It fucking sucks.
If they detain you, you still have access to lawyers and others who are working to protect these people.
Have you been skipping the news for weeks?
No. There are plenty of lawyers and groups (ACLU) working to get these people to a judge. Hell, even the Supreme Court ruled that the deportations must stop to give them due process.
Are they following those orders? I don’t think so.
But to say that there aren’t people fighting for these people is just flat out, blatantly and categorically wrong.
How does Muhmud Khalil have a lawyer if what I said was wrong?
Have you been skipping the news for weeks?
You seem to be choosing the few people who were able to get a lawyer in time… In your hypothetical, that is not guaranteed or even something I’d bet on. And you are also pointing out that they won’t obey judges orders anyways so… I’m very confused as to what argument you think you are making.
Anyone who sees anyone being kidnapped should do their civic duty to stop it. Just because it suddenly seems to be government representatives that are doing the kidnapping now does not change that. You don’t know which it is.
I do wonder how many people have already been disappeared with no cameras around and they are just “missing” according to their families who can’t/don’t want to go to the cops in case it was the cops all along.
You are wrong though. The majority get shipped off no lawyers no nothing. Just gone.
If an ICE agent dies they can’t harm anyone else
El Salvador is a death sentence, with a load of abuse on top. Better to break some ICE and be ended, than to live out your final days in a concentration camp.
You wont get a chance to defend yourself when they bag you up and send you to El Salvador. You can die in the streets protecting yourself or you can die in a gulag 5000 miles away. Your choice
An absurd suggestion. ICE agents looking to disappear you are merely volunteers for America’s new Necronaut Program. Necronauts are needed for the upcoming assassination of God, and invasion of heaven.
You have access to lawyers???
Not a single person that I’m aware of that got shipped off to El Salvador had a fair trial. This isn’t the US you know anymore. You don’t get a trial if they don’t want you to have one.
access to lawyers
I don’t believe it would work out that way if you are detained and don’t already have numbers lined up. They are already skipping due process anyway…
I don’t want violence. I just want to remind people that these are illegal government kidnappings.
It. Fucking. Sucks. Indeed.
It would be great to see people stand up to these kidnappings. Maybe even some good guys with guns
So what do we do… We know what the response should be… but are we gonna do it…
No, you won’t.
There will be some soft protestations, admittedly in huge numbers, but that will be it. Then you’ll accept this as normal.It will get worse and worse over the years and a lot of you will be looking around for someone else to do something, which won’t happen.
Then in 2028, though probably earlier, OrangeCunt will declare himself president for life and you’ll all again look around for other people to “sort it all out”. However there will be no one left to do anything as they will have been arrested, scared off, or paid off etc.
Then you’ll realise that you’ve been taken over by the weakest, stupidest schoolyard bully in history. And you’ll be the laughing stock on a global scale.Yet all of this could have been avoided if he had been arrested and put in to court for the treasonous shit in 2021.
Hell, it still can be avoided now, but it’ll take the average American to have a backbone and get out there and fight. Which also won’t happen.Tldr… and don’t pretend you know anything about me from some vague comments online. You live in your fear and stay paralyzed believing everyone will and live in your shame of being a coward. It won’t be me.
Firstly, the ‘you’ in all this isn’t you specifically. It’s the average American.
Secondly, speaking of average Americans, I’m not one of them. I’m not even from that continent.
No, I’m an average guy who simply cannot believe what ‘you’ -the American people- have let taken over them and their country.
I could actually believe an evil genius doing it. But not a simpleton like tRUMP, it boggles the mind.Thirdly, you “tl;dr’d”…well if you can’t be bothered to actually read for 1 minute in a post then, and maybe I’m wrong, but I doubt you’re the type to get out and fight for your country. Maybe you’ll do a small protestation and then look around for other people to do something is more your thing…
Again… tldr nor will i entertain your cowardice. You stay scared… i have been out in the streets… i am still out in the streets and i will be in the streets until they pull my cold dead body out after fighting…
What are you doing, scolding strangers on the internet to feel better about yourself staying home doing nothing… You’re pathetic, not me. 🥰
Cheers traitor…
Tl;dr yank sad cunt
