Summary

Stephen Miller’s legal group, America First Legal Foundation, sent letters warning officials in sanctuary jurisdictions of potential “serious consequences,” including civil racketeering charges and prison time, for defying federal immigration laws.

The letters target 249 officials in areas restricting cooperation with ICE, such as San Diego County.

While courts have previously rejected similar anti-sanctuary efforts, the move signals aggressive immigration enforcement plans under Trump’s incoming administration.

Critics argue the threats highlight a broader strategy to intimidate and enforce mass deportation policies.

    The solution to this is to organize state militias and ask the agents sent to arrest if they want to leave walking or in body bags.

        to me, a non American, it reads just how America is was and will be.

        Americans love guns and extra judicial killings. Their top cultural hits are about cops who break laws, or good men who are driven to kill. Breaking Bad, The Wire, The Sopranos, Westerns, cyberpunk, buddy cop movies, Die Hard…

          As we like to say here in Ummerica: All hat no cattle.

          People love violence and extra judicial killings “in the name of justice” as long as it’s on TV or the internet and they are nice and safe at home. Guns? Yeah, fun to go pew pew in the backyard or parade around with. But actually get involved or do something like stand up to an authoritarian government? “Ha ha no thanks you first.”

        How very brave of y’all to downvote. Undoubtedly you are all organizing your state militias as we speak.

          Hey dipshit the term state militias implies that they are organized by the states themselves rather than being organized by random folks, I wouldve used the term civil militia or maybe free militia if I meant the latter.

            No doubt you will be first to sign up for said militia. Being so brave 'n all.
