The March 14 directive, signed by Attorney General Pam Bondi, uses an obscure 18th-century law — the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 — to give law enforcement nationwide the power to bypass basic constitutional protections.
According to the memo, agents can break into a home if getting a warrant is “impracticable,” and they don’t need a judge’s approval. Instead, immigration officers can sign their own administrative warrants. The bar for action is low — a “reasonable belief” that someone might be part of a Venezuelan gang is enough.
Reminder that many states have “STAND YOUR GROUND” laws that include protecting you in the event you shoot someone claiming to be a federal agent who doesn’t produce badges or a warrant.
Funny you think people will still get a fair trial (or even a trial at all instead of a bullet or “accident”) in the United States after shooting someone from the regime.
it’s encouraging to see Americans who still believe the law means anything. I hope you manifest it back into existence.
