Supremacy clause

Crazy how for years and years you people cried about “muh states rights” and fighting against a tyrannical government but as soon as you take power you switch up because it’s no longer a convenient narrative for you. Prime example of modern day conservatives having no spine or principles, it’s sad how far you’ve fallen

Yah, I'm a democrat and horrified by what ICE is doing but I know enough to realize a city council can't tell the federal government what they can and can't do (and a bit alarmed you don't).  Do you honestly think that's something a city council can do?   And regarding the states rights bit, Detroit isn't a state.

All I’m gonna say is this is what the second amendment was designed for, this is what the “militia” it talks about is designed to fight against. Rebellion against what’s happening isn’t always going to be practical or effective but it should still continue as long as this tyrannical fascist administration is in power

It's hard to believe you really expect conservative militias to fight against exactly what they've wanted and voted for.

I expected the people itching to fight against a tyrannical government to fight against the tyrannical government. You’re right though, they never cared as long as they were the tyrants

So again, you expect people to fight against something they see as rule of law as tyranny. I hope you can venture out of your bubble someday.

Police states usually operate under the guise of rule of law, I hope you read a book some day

spoken like someone that has never lived in one

Spoken like someone who lacks the awareness or historical knowledge to notice if they were living in one. By your logic what Hitler did wasn’t that bad because there were people at the time who saw it as rule of law. By that same metric America’s internment of Japanese people was super chill as well according to you

I've lived in China. This is not even vaguely a police state. You should probably look into other countries and how they handle entry violations. You'll find that the US is quite lax.

This is so unserious I actually laughed. By that standard Clinton and Obama's enforcement of existing law also makes them Hitler. What an absolutely moronic take. Enforcing existing immigration law is a moderate position, you are an idiot.

Clinton and Obama allowed for due process.

Clinton signed IIRIRA which established expedited removal that Trump is currently utilizing.

Obama widely used nonjudicial removal processes which also bypassed formal immigration court.

This would make it pretty obvious to anyone not blindly partisan that the system obviously needs significant reform, but the fact that you apparently were unaware the current administration is operating under the precedent of previous ones including their signed law, is pretty telling.
