“I’m saying it right now,” Homan said. “There’s still going to be more bloodshed unless they shut their mouth and let ICE enforce the laws that they enacted.”

DHS has acknowledged that neither of the men who have been shot in recent weeks was the target of the ICE operations that led to their deaths.

A witness reported that Guerrero shouted, “I tried to stop” after being shot by an agent while his vehicle moved forward slowly.

    We Americans have explicit rights. We have the right of freedom of speech. We have the right to peaceably assemble to protest. These are explicitly given by the Constitution and cannot be taken away.

    If Homan doesn’t like the rights that we have, he has only one remedy. He just has to get used to it, and help protect our rights. If he can’t do that, he has violated the oath of office that I believe he took, and he has no right to keep that job. Otherwise, he’d be a liar and an oath breaker.

      Lamo to be spouting constitutionalist hopium at this stage of the descent.

      These [rights] are explicitly given by the Constitution and cannot be taken away.

      Then explain how they took away Alex Pretti’s rights. Political power does not come from a Constitution; it comes from the barrel of a gun.

      Also keep in mind your constitution is the only one I know of that explicitly enshrines the right to enslave people.
