<p>Maybe, instead of haphazardly deploying armed troops on US city streets, <a href="/tags/trump/" rel="tag">#Trump</a> should be deploying them at <a href="/tags/israel/" rel="tag">#Israel</a> embassies and consulates across Amerikkka to keep them from 🔥BURNING🔥. <a href="/tags/globalsumudflotilla/" rel="tag">#globalsumudflotilla</a></p>
<p><a href="/tags/uspol/" rel="tag">#uspol</a> <a href="/tags/politics/" rel="tag">#politics</a> <br>Making the job bad news:</p><p><p>Suppose that when an ICE agent tries to arrest someone, state and local officials demand to see their identification and the warrant for arresting that person. If the agent fails to provide one, the state law-enforcement officer could say: "Since you are apparently not working for the federal government and have no arrest warrant for this person, I have to assume you are a common criminal trying to kidnap someone. Kidnapping is a state crime. You are under arrest. You have the right to remain silent, etc." Then the ICE agent is handcuffed, taken away and charged with kidnapping. ICE agents who break down doors to gain entry to buildings and can't prove they are federal agents following lawful orders could be arrested for burglary or breaking and entering under state laws. Having states aggressively enforce their own laws against individual agents and doing their best to not have them released on bail changes the incentive structure for wanting to work for ICE. How many headlines do there have to be saying: "ICE agent arrested for kidnapping and held without bail" before many agents start looking for other jobs?</p></p><p>The whole article on how to defeat <a href="/tags/trump/" rel="tag">#Trump</a> <a href="/tags/blackmail/" rel="tag">#blackmail</a> is excellent. Please boost so the idea takes hold, especially if you k ow people in state and local law enforcement. </p><p><a href="https://www.electoral-vote.com/evp2025/Items/Oct06-1.html" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.electoral-vote.com/evp2025/Items/Oct06-1.html"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">www.electoral-vote.com/evp2025</span><span class="invisible">/Items/Oct06-1.html</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/boostingissharing/" rel="tag">#BoostingIsSharing</a> </p><p><a href="/tags/ice/" rel="tag">#ice</a> <a href="/tags/state/" rel="tag">#state</a> <a href="/tags/newsom/" rel="tag">#Newsom</a></p>
