A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis
The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway
They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

Great question. We track ICE agents in real time, we show up en masse when they try to kidnap our neighbors, and we blow whistles and honk horns and bully them until they flee with their coward tails between their legs. We do this many times a day, every day. Thank you for asking
Look, I'm all for ensuring ICE doesn't continue with their nefarious activities.
But how do you actually "run them off"?
Serious question.

the thing where decades of policy choices have made it so that it is mostly impossible to travel in this country without operating a deadly machine and now the government is using that as a priori evidence of murderous intent demanding deadly force in response is haunting me a little ngl

"did you try to bribe the president of the united states by giving him your nobel peace prize so he will declare that you are in charge of venezuela after abducting its leader by military force" is just a thing that someone can be asked in an interview now and we all have to deal with that
Hannity: Did you at any point offered to give him the Nobel peace prize?
Machado: It hasn’t happened yet. We want to give it to him. Share it with him.

WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.
“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.
