    As the spouse of an immigrant, this feels huge. Like we can breathe. There are limits to the despot’s authority. It doesn’t all have to end in tears and blood.

      They deported hundreds of individuals, and there are still masked officers abducting people in the streets. This is one small victory in a great big war that we’re all losing.

        Like no shit dude. ONCE AGAIN, my spouse is an immigrant. Not a citizen.

        Thanks for reminding me of the horrors that we’re trying to deal with every fuckin day. Today, I celebrate the freedom of an individual. Tomorrow, I go back to those who aren’t.

        Is this hypothetical for you? It’s not for me.

        If they refuse to show law enforcement ID, they are just armed people impersonating law enforcement. Call 911!

            Not the above commenter but one could argue that this will create pressure by generating friction between police departments and federal agencies that will ultimately have to be resolved with some kind of concession involving identification, however minor, that could be considered a win.

              Maybe… I feel like they’ll just come, give the nod and keep fucking up the peasants since they both have the same job more or less.
