Mohsen Mahdawi, a legal permanent resident who has held a green card since 2015, was detained at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office in Colchester by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, his lawyers said. "
Weird how conservatives with a hate boner for feds are so silent. Who could have guessed they’re all bark and no bite?
Want to scare the shit out of conservatives and these illegal feds? Buy a gun and learn to use it. An armed public is a safer public. Remember it took black folks arming and protecting their own for the Republicans to attempt any gun restrictions.
It was never about big government versus small government. Big government was only a problem when it benefitted the “wrong” people.
It’s all right cause they ain’t white.
Plenty of white leftish folks don’t own guns. If they and every other minority were packing, fascists would be saying, “it’s alright cause they ain’t Right.”
I meant that the deportees to the tropical gulag aren’t white so the conservatives have nothing to protest.
My bad, I didn’t mean to diminish your point. I mostly meant to say, when we’re armed and protective of our neighbors, the feds are less emboldened.
I would never count on conservatives to be an ally. They’ll only start caring once their wallets are affected.
