This is Stephen Miller's MO. It doesn't matter if anything is legal or not, it's whatever they decide at any time. The reality is:
Quote:
Stephen Vladeck, a professor of law at the Georgetown University Law Center, argues no—at least on its face.
“The federal government absolutely retains the ability to prosecute federal law enforcement officers who break the law, even in the course of carrying out their duties,” Vladeck writes in a newsletter published Monday.
Vladeck argues that while these agents are protected by an immunity doctrine, that doctrine is not as absolute as Miller makes it out to be.
Miller is relying on the doctrine known as “Supremacy Clause immunity.” This immunity protects federal officers from state criminal prosecution when they are carrying out their official duties under federal law, provided their actions were "necessary and proper."
Quote:
The “necessary and proper” idea, though, is up for much debate, and could lead to holes in Miller’s claim, as Vladeck points to lower circuit decisions that federal agents are not given this immunity unless their behavior would be found to be “reasonable.” If these agents are acting outside of their federal authority, that immunity would not be as air-tight.
Quote:
“ICE’s own policy makes clear agents cannot assert civil immigration enforcement authority over U.S. citizens,” Goldman wrote to Tisch. “Yet, under the Trump administration, there have been dozens of credible reports—some recorded on video—showing the agency doing exactly that, with violence and impunity.”
Trump and his regime have turned telling lies into an extreme sport, they have truly committed to the grift, just say whatever you want since their MAGA base are stupid and lazy enough to believe anything. The orange rapist has assembled such a vile and repugnant group of garbage humans, they have no decency, no integrity.
Yeah, I can't ignore and laugh at any of this. That kind of attitude by our crazy cousins is what allowed this disaster.
The concerning part with the states is I don't know how it will get better.
There is a massive divide in that country that just keeps growing and growing. The powers that be are pouring more and more gasoline on it everyday.
With how deeply linked Canada is with the US, how can you not be a little nervous. If it keeps escalating, as it seems like it will, there will be blowback up here.
And we only just passed the 1 year mark of this current administration.

A friend of mine casually/half joking said yesterday, "Depending what happens in Minneapolis tonight, Minnesota and southern Manitoba could be occupied by Saturday"
It bothered me that the statement didn't seem completely out of the question
