The March 14 directive, signed by Attorney General Pam Bondi, uses an obscure 18th-century law — the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 — to give law enforcement nationwide the power to bypass basic constitutional protections.
According to the memo, agents can break into a home if getting a warrant is “impracticable,” and they don’t need a judge’s approval. Instead, immigration officers can sign their own administrative warrants. The bar for action is low — a “reasonable belief” that someone might be part of a Venezuelan gang is enough.
While this is true, I still can’t see it as being a viable form of resistance to tyranny in a case like that mentioned in the post. The government won’t accept an appeal to one’s second amendment rights as a valid defense when it’s their own agents committing the offense.
It only works when used against a minority or desperate poor person.
