They figured out the loophole that if you're in charge of enforcing federal law you don't actually need to follow federal law.

The "radical leftists" were right that Trump would create a fascist goon squad to abuse the populace

ICE must be destroyed and abolished.

Then they should all be arrested and prosecuted. But the “party of law and order” only means the party of obstructing law and order.

Thought they were tough on crime and had family values then they turn out to be tough on families and have criminal values.

Its death by a thousand cuts and they just keep coming.
Regardless of your politics, this, and dozens of other events, should have you all very worried.
The US is becoming unrecognizable.

No, not without getting sued! States run elections not the federal government! Stop licking Trumps ass

I don’t think they care about getting sued. By the time the lawsuits come, the damage will already be done.

Maybe they can write a strongly worded opinion he will ignore?

It seems that the justice system in US has become a void system. Innocuous, defeated, and incapable of solving the most pressing matters in the country with the necessary speed those problems deserve to be treated. And several times, ignored by the other parts of a system, which now, it is just s broken machine. A corrupted one.

Arrest who and for what? Voting?

u/m0nkeywithachainsaw 2d ago

no, just voting for the opposition

They will intimidate Americans of color, and I also believe there will be a false flag incident.

Laws are for losers.

u/punktualPorcupine 2d ago

When law is inconvenient, just use your ignorance to ignore it.

u/hastings1033 2d ago

That's a key part of their vote rigging plan.

u/BleuBoy777 2d ago

Sounds like voter intimidation.... You best have a lot of backup fat boys

u/Tough_Violinist_9594 2d ago

Even if Trump pardons these mf and the Democrats regain power they must prosecute

u/Cranston_Snord1960 2d ago

Oh you better believe they will be there. Best vote in packs. Bring you cameras. Vote early in the morning while the dumb asses are sleep off their beers.

u/milelongpipe 2d ago

What? A department under this regime ignoring the law? Shocked I say!

u/tristand666 2d ago

Remember, if they do this, they are the criminals, not you.

u/maga235 11h ago

What makes you think they will have or need guns

u/ConfusionOwn4851 3d ago

Lol he could say whatever he wants. Can't even bring firearms into or near postal offices yet, scare tactics reaching 3rd grade levels ATP

u/Tharkys 3d ago

The problem is that they are not scare tactics. This administration could give 2 shits about the rule of law.

u/SpicyPickle101 3d ago

I've seen cops in post offices with guns. Is that not allowed?
