    They can make whatever laws they want. This is a constitutional matter. It can only be changed by a 2/3s majority vote of the house and senate.

    ICE can say they don’t need a warrant. Fuck them up if they don’t have one … a warrant is required.

    The president can say ICE doesnt need a warrant … fuck him, he doesn’t have the authority … they do.

    The Supreme Court can say ICE doesnt need a warrant … fuck them, they do not have the authority … a warrant is still needed.

      If nothing physically stops them from doing what they say they can do, then they can do it, and the constitution is meaningless. This is what is happening, they are proving the constitution is meaningless.

        The Constitution is essentially enforced by the Honor System, which is easily ignored by people who not only have no honor, but consider it a weakness that should be ruthlessly exploited. A petson with ethics and integrity can be easily bested by someone who ddoesn’t respect those qualities.

        Eventually ICE will stumble upon someone with a strong interest in the Second Amendment and get themselves physically stopped. Because ICE’s actions are unconstitutional they will be considered illegal, thus whatever is done to stop them will be legal.

        It is only a matter of time and this story will be in the news. MAGA thinks they can tread upon the Constitution, but the Constitution lays coiled and has sharp fangs.

          The Constitution only has meaning because you all say it has meaning. All of its enforcement comes down to the Executive branch. Congress doesn’t have enforcers, the Judiciary doesn’t have enforcers. Systematically, all of the people in the Executive branch that would stop this are being forced out. The people in power have decided the Constitution has no meaning, and it’s too late to stop them. Killing some ICE agents is what they want so they have the justification to declare martial law and subjugate the entire country by force.

            They probably do want to push the populace over the edge using ICE. However, that is an error in judgement. The mistake they are making is assuming many people are not already over the edge.

            They are looking and hoping for the people that will go batshit crazy and run out into the streets screaming “Rebellion! Riot!”. These are not the people they are getting. My educated guess assumption in theory is that MAGA has created a great deal of dusgruntled legal gun owners patiently waiting for a situation that presents an opportunity.
