What I would like to see is local organizations, like even city councils, running programs to arm thier citizens. Ideally with free training and such as a requirement. Super awesome would be if they setup shop near protest sites to do some basic training and then sell the weapons to the people legally for like $10 or something.
Essentially, legally and responsibly arm the protestors. If ICE starts shooting, they return fire. That should really give ICE pause.
No, and if there were, it would likely give actual legal grounds for the federal government to invoke the Insurrection Act which would allow domestic deployment of the US military - not National Guard, full military. Local PD isn’t doing much for the same reason.
Seems all you need to use to get the threat of the insurrection act is a snow shovel. Go big or go home I say. And even without it, he deployed marines in so cal.
Local PD aren’t doing anything to stop this because the police forces are mainly staffed by low-IQ Republicans who, if anything, will protect ICE with the argument that ICE is federal and therefore apparently can ignore all laws.

Are there any instances of that happening?
