Here's how far we have fallen. The five ICE officers surrounding the Honda Pilot of Renee Good had no authority over her. Zero. They have no local law enforcement authority. She was born in the US. A citizen. They could not have had probable cause of an immigration violation. The literally did not have the authority to stop & interrogate her — to order her to produce "papers," to yank open the door of her SUV, let alone kill her. (The US Supreme Court has ruled that US law enforcement can't use deadly force to stop someone fleeing — even if there's a crime involved. And there wasn't a crime.) So the people saying Good would be alive if she just followed orders — wrong. Why should she? ICE works for *her* — not the other way around. They work for us. You don't have to follow the "orders" of people who have no authority to give you orders. That's what the Founding Fathers believed, and what they enshrined in the Constitution. Not: Just do what officials tell you until they can satisfy themselves. Only Trump and Noem, and ICE, in 2025 and 2026 have decided to discard that. That is tyranny. That's what Americans fought the Revolution against. So if you're a conservative, or a Trump supporter, and you've read this far — check your Constitution. Check your Federalist Papers. You've lost the plot. Of freedom, democracy, even of capitalism. Certainly of the question of what "authority" law enforcement has over perfectly innocent citizens — going about their business, or driving, or even protesting. 1A. You're obsessed with 2A. But there's an amendment that comes first.
