Also, your yard is part of your private property ("curtilage") and they still require a *real* warrant to come in and grab somebody sitting in your porch or garden.

That said, there's an exception for if they were already arresting someone from public land and a chase happened.

Don't open the door -- speak to them, if necessary, through the closed door. Don't agree to open it a crack, "just so we can hear each other." Try to contact someone who can call an attorney. ICE agents without a judicially-signed arrest warrant do not have the legal authority to force entry.

If ICE or Border Patrol comes to your home or business or place of work or school: Do not admit them unless the warrant is for your specific address and is signed by a judge--not by anyone except a judge.

Government workers 👇🏾

Lunch is on the house:

Being in the heart of downtown DC, we love that so many of our Federal employees stop by during lunch for a Donburi at China Chilcano or a Fútbol Club at Jaleo. And just because the government is shut down doesn't mean you have to miss out on your favorite lunch spot- because this time, its on us!
Join us for lunch from 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM at any of our participating restaurants and enjoy a free lunch item when you present your government ID-you heard that right! Dine in with us Monday through Friday and choose your favorite: a sandwich at Jaleo, a donburi at China Chilcano, a wrap or pita at Zaytinya, or a torta at Oyamel.
We've always believed in serving our community with open arms and good food-no shutdown can stop that.

They want people want to be able to run genetic screenings for children with ASD so we can be eradicated. They are a 100% eugenics org. They push ABA so they can force children to not appear Autistic. They don’t want us alive or with a voice. Autism $peaks wants to be the only voice heard.

Also, we would not be here if DJT had just been allowed to go be a performer of some sort. He probably would have been a Florence Foster Jenkins — I don’t think he had any talent to hone, and wouldn’t have taken direction well — but Fred could have spent WAY less money subsidizing a dinner theater.

Seriously, that‘s what DJT seems to have wanted. To be the center of attention, an impressario, the big host, the glad-handing owner. He still would have been an abusive boss, but he would have been less socially, widely destructive. And that’s a big thing driving this stupid ballroom.

ICE is at once Trumpism in its purest form and the endpoint of its progenitor, G*mergate: unqualified 22-year-old couch potatoes, failsons, and self-styled madmen given weapons and complete impunity to play IRL video games with people's lives, to ruin personal enemies or anyone who disdains them.

When driver tried to get out, an agent yelled, "DON’T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN, I WILL SHOOT YOU"

I know little about the UK legal system but I'm guessing insurrection, plotting coups, and treason is still considered illegal.

Figure out which nazis are guilty of it, call it out, and demand specific actions.

Just as a pro tip from the US, if the election is going to be existential, then your country already lost it.

You need to start figuring out who is funding the nazis, call for the UK's laws to be enforced and make sure that they are.
