In New Orleans and across U.S., anger over ICE raids sparks a 2nd American Revolution | Will Bunch
Everyday folks are rising up to resist immigration raids with whistles, car chases, and noisy protests. Revolution is in the air.
There was revolution in the air in New Orleans when the Border Patrol invaded their city - as brave citizens blew whistles, chased convoys, and confronted masked agents of a tyrannical government

i think to understand the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause to the framers of the 14th amendment, you have to understand significance of dred scott to the civil war republican party. dred scott wasn't just a bad ruling, it was understood as a rejection of the declaration itself.

The Constitution is very straightforward on birthright citizenship. There's no ambiguity in the language, no other plausible interpretation.
The fact that this is a public discussion at all, and that the Supreme Court is taking it up, is on its own anti-constitutional bullshit.

ICE Arrest Data Shows Many Immigrants With No Criminal Record
In high-profile operations, more than half of those arrested had no criminal record, an analysis shows.
Trump said last year that he would focus on deporting immigrants who were violent criminals. But a study of arrests in major operations in DC, LA, Illinois and Massachusetts shows that the vast majority of those swept up by ICE have no criminal record.
