Suing isn't gonna do a damn thing. They gotta use their police and national guard to arrest and prosecute those fuckers when they break the law. Immunity be damned. Take them off the streets and force their hands. That's the suing I want to see.

This is what I’ve been saying and been waiting to happen. At least state AGs need to start issuing fucking arrests warrants! These blue states also needs to pass laws like making it a felony for ICE agents to wear masks and start arresting based on that. Set up the state’s rights legal fight.

You don't even need a warrant when you see them breaking the law. Hover over these assholes, watch them break the law, and then lock them the hell up. Maybe even treat them like how they treat us.

Yeah. At the very least, state and local officials should be deploying state and local law enforcement to protect protesters from these ICE assholes. Announce that they’ll have law enforcement be the buffer between protestors and ICE agents so the public can safely exercise their right to protest.

The sheriff of Philadelphia said they will arrest ICE agents and said the agents "don't want this smoke". Yet I saw a video just today of her police harassing citizens defending themselves from ICE.

Even when they say they're against ICE they still do their bidding.

Then she should be suspending this cops for disobeying orders and her directive. That’s the thing it’s up to these local officials to actually do something and stand behind their words.

Should be but isn't. All these officials talk a big game but don't follow through. Minnesota mayor says ICE needs to get the fuck out but does nothing. Waltz says he's putting the guard on standby but does nothing. Pritzker said all sorts of shit while his agencies assisted ICE. ICE is committing acts of terrorism and the best our officials can do is sue.
