ICE agents pointed guns at a US citizen when she ran out on to her yard to ask why they were arresting her (legal immigrant) partner. (abcnews4.com)

Ring footage shows an agent pulling his gun on her, after which he shoves her down multiple times, pushes her back into house & slams the door.

All because she was asking for proof of a warrant. They refused to even give their names & badge numbers.

The last time the left got armed the police bombed the building in Philadelphia, in 1985. The police and ICE are way more violent now, so I'd wager it would happen again. With ICE's new budget I assume we'll see armored carriers and tanks rolling around sometime next year.

Not a reason to not arm yourself. You're just proving why you should be armed.
