It remains unclear whether the Trump administration will apply the law in this way. But such an interpretation, experts say, would infringe on basic civil liberties.
Probably not as much as the people trying to protect their families. Average household 4-6 people inside? They’ll send 24 then. Double that after the first agent casualty.
You be surprised what a family will do. Also ICE doesn’t have that many agents and there’s more community getting involved where ICE can’t drive down the street. Remember the people have more power.
They don’t have infinite agents. If they start sending one or two dozen agents to arrest one person, rather than the 2-6 they are sending now, that means they will be making less arrests overall.
It would lead to significantly less arrests if they needed double or triple the agents to conduct them “safely”.
More people will die only if agents or their victims start shooting on general principle. In either case, that’s a backslide that isn’t really a consequence of putting more agents on one person.
ICE is going to regret when those start protecting themselves in their own home.

Given that this would lead to slightly less arrests but significantly more deaths, I’m not sure how this would be considered a win.
What do you think is going to happen when dozens of agents start raiding homes without a warrant?
