      Then you need to work on your reading comprehension.

      It’s not based on a vibe, it’s literally written down as part of our Declaration of Independence. It’s a part of our Bill of Rights, It’s a part of The Constitution, and in some cases our state constitutions.

      Yours and others ignorance of their natural rights, and the places they are codified doesn’t excuse the breaking of this social contract. ICE and ICE collaborators have broken this social contract, and are no longer protected by it.

        The commenter I replied to, who seems to have disappeared, was saying there’s no authority that grants these rights. Now you’re arguing that those rights are provided by the constitution?

        Regardless, the assertion I take issue with, is that Americans are within their rights to shoot ICE officers on sight. Even if that were true according to your personal interpretation of the constitution, it’s terrible advice to be handing out on lemmy.

        A more accurate statement would be “under some interpretations of the constitution it may be lawful to oppose ICE agents with force, however in the current climate you’re very likely to be shot or incarcerated or deported should you attempt to do so”
