Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I wonder what would happen if you opened fire against these attempts? If you are not identifying yourself as law enforcement, one would fear for ones life and could open fire and protect oneself?
A guy in Huntington Beach just had his front door literally blown off at 6am and home raided while his wife and young kids were sleeping in the home because he accidently rear ended an unmarked pickup truck that happened to be full of ICE agents a week prior. They accused him of doing it intentionally in order to interfere even though they let him go when it happened and everyone in the family is a US citizen.
The people that did that have names and addresses. They have families and friends and workplaces. They are real people who can easily be hurt in any number of ways by anyone who happens to know their name.
Be a real shame.
You die but you kill a few Nazis.
Just remember there are a lot more of us than there are them.
Far better than "you die in el Salvador"
This is the sad state of the USA.

He will declare martial law regardless.
I’m no attorney and (luckily) have never been in a situation where I’ve had to use my firearm in defense of my life. But I will say, it depends on the circumstances. In Texas (and other states I’m sure), we are encouraged to only use firearms as a last resort of defense and in a situation where any other action would likely or reasonably result in our death (apart from maybe your home, castle doctrine). So out in public, it would be tricky to justify the use of deadly force where you might otherwise have had the option of running away from your alleged captors, calling local law enforcement, or some other course of action.
If you do survive the encounter, you will see the inside of a courtroom and I have a feeling the proceedings will be biased against you.
That being said, a few tips:
You can't expect to be safe running from a gunman in a lot of circumstances
In this case where it isn't even ice you would be in the clear if you lived however if 2 armed men approach with guns drawn you not being a fictional character in a western are fucked.
Best bet would be for multiple people to obstruct and delay and get the actual cops hoping an actual gunfight is undesirables for all.
