10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
This only works if they are willing to enforce it. So they would need to order and get CPD on board with arresting ICE agents. And as much as I would love to see that happen, police tend to be the biggest bootlickers of them all.
Even the mayor stated federal agents wouldn't be arrested for violating this. So it is just pointless and performative.
According to the mayor, while federal agents in violation of the order would not be arrested by Chicago police, the city will take the federal government to court if necessary.
So yeah... nope, they're not going to enforce it.
Ah, yes. The government that famously doesn't listen to court orders will be sued. I'm sure that lawsuit will finally bring a stop to all of this lawlessness this time.
The police are probably still pissed off they got tear gassed (that is for black people!). But the best anyone can hope for is "Yeah. This library is an ICE free zone. Two feet out the door isn't. So just wait there with your guns"
The administration is TERRIFIED of its own citizens and they are doing anything they can do to suppress our rights and make us suffer.
At the same time, they are crashing the economy as fast as possible so we don't have time to fight back and protest. The struggle is their favorite part.
Yeah... sometimes I feel like growing up with an abusive vindictive parent kinda prepared me for this. I wish I had something better to tell you, but the reality is they just suck and they shouldn't be in control. They're abusive. They're vindictive. I'm sorry and you deserve better, but you're stuck with them (for now). You're not alone though. We're all stuck with them (for now).
They get off on watching you struggle, but they also have fragile little egos that are easily bruised. Use that to your advantage. Take some comfort in the fact that narcissists are so blinded by their own egos, it usually means they can be outsmarted because underestimating everyone who isn't them is their default mode. Their thinking is really rigid because they lack empathy and the ability to see things from any perspective other than their own. Often this results in them inadvertently but repeatedly shooting themselves in the foot while trying to assert their dominance. Try to laugh about it when it happens. Take care of yourself. Try to take care others. Stick together and remember you're better than them.
they are hoping to be another 08 crisis, when everyone was desperate for any job, even joining the military
Because fascists fear one thing more than each other, people.
Get warrants, fuckos
They'll take it as a challenge to their authority and specifically target them, just like sanctuary cities and states. I hope those businesses have funds for renovations after a SWAT entry team has their way with them.
Insurance
"As he is now known as Lord God Emperor Donald Trump His Magnificence, any damages caused by the federal government will be considered acts of God and threefore not covered."
No need.
Many (most?) policies already have an "act of government" clause that is specifically used to not pay out when police and feds destroy shit. Same with having carve outs for "military action".
Also, funny enough, many policies actually have specific carve outs for damage due to "civil commotion" e.g. rioting. So there actually is a kernel of truth to "don't destroy that mom and pop shop when you are rioting" because it probably will end that company (unless that is the point but...). But still fuck your Target and Kmart.
Without liberty and justice for all, there can be no one nation undivided.
Secede.
As an American, I rather restore the rule of law, then pause red state's federal representation and EC votes until we do a proper reconstruction. This is OUR house, lmfao, why do the majority of law abiding people have to leave, just because of a small minority of lawbreakers managing to usurp the government powers?
Take. Our. Country. Back.
If Minnesota, Michigan, and the greater Great Lakes area wanted to join Canada I would be open to it.
Then we could all focus on work and manufacturing and quality of life.
Also would welcome the states of Alaska and Washington.
Minnesota has a HUGE tech base too, specifically medical devices.
And maybe some other highly useful industries if things go really, really badly.
That's definitely their goal, and I'd prefer to keep my country united.
We were never perfect, and there were definitely many ways we started off (and still often end up) on the wrong foot in terms of hypocrisy vs the country we claimed we were building, but the U.S. is my home, my family, and I love her. I know I'll probably end up burned at the stake for saying this, but I do sincerely believe that our differences make us great.
They're the ones that have problems with everyone else, and want to turn us from a big salad to a bottle of homogenous curdled milk. I wish this administration and whoever wants to ~~serve~~ join them would go build their monarchy on one of Peter Thiel's man made floating islands instead of trying to force it on us. See how that social darwinism and boot strapping they're so obsessed with actually plays out for them. (FAFO)

I mean these types never stopped fapping to Ayn Rand novels anyway so yeah! They should get their own society instead of hijacking ours, if it works so well! Lol
Donald Trump’s rapid-response White House X account decried the move. “This is SICK,” said the president’s team, accusing Johnson of “aiding and abetting criminal illegal immigrant killers, rapists, traffickers, and gang bangers.”
🙄 Oh lordy, I 100% support this, but I can already tell "ICE rights" are going to become the new cry of false victimhood (even moreso). Watch him turn this into a civil rights issue.
"You think you can refuse service the men and women who serve at my behest? Just because they might accidentally shoot a few people on purpose?"
"You think you can turn them away just because their presence makes people so uncomfortable, and it's ruining your business? Because they're a nuisance to all your other patrons, and everyone hates them?"
"I don't give a rats ass if they're still welcome as regular patrons like everyone else. Or that they just have to leave their tactical gear outside and not harass the other customers! They're not like everyone else, they're my special snowflakes! Those are their emotional support balaclavas and automatic rifles, and they need them at all times, you hateful bigot!"
You think you can refuse service the men and women who serve at my behest?
You bet your ass I think that. Let me refer these fuckos to the third and fourth amendments.
Hey, America- EVERY neighborhood is an ICE-free zone if you have a well-organized group of heavily armed residents on watch.
Or, you know, just keep letting guys in masks put your neighbors in unmarked vans.
I'm surprised there isn't more "And then someone followed the ICE agents home and shot them dead in their driveway" happening yet.
Be funny if that did happen, and the jury refused to indict. I think our faith in institutions are so low that that's plausible, now.
Nah, you'd just get a bunch of the most insufferable liberals you've ever seen clutching their pearls and flooding the comments about how "political violence" is just SO UNCOUTH and has NO place in their comfy version of reality.
Trump and his brown shirts.
Hopefully red shirts soon
its brown because they were up trumps behind.
That's great, but useless if they cops don't enforce it. Otherwise, it's a giant red sign saying "immigrants and those that help them are here, please do your nazi harassment here."
Under the order, private businesses can choose to display signage indicating that ICE cannot enter without a warrant
This isn't anything new. You can already tell them they're trespassing without a warrant. If they don't leave, you have a third amendment case against them.
Of course that depends on enforcement of the law, which as we've all seen is not happening.
