And the last thing I know of her foiled attempt to warn her neighbors and their illegals to avoid the ICE checkpoint, was that she was publicly interfering with a federal law enforcement operation. Seems like there has to be a law making this a crime. The DOJ should have gone after that Oakland mayor who interfered last spring and they should at least pay this lady a visit put her on notice.

It has been ruled that warning of sobriety checkpoints or radar traps is fully covered under the 1st Amendment, and thus not illegal.

How is an ICE checkpoint different?

I agree that warning lawbreakers of impending raids when warrants have been sworn and police are on the way could be considered obstruction of justice, but where is the line drawn?

Wherever it's drawn, I still want the illegals gone.

I suspected as much. I expected a response from a FReeper who knew the law and who would set me straight. Thanks.

Arresting and charging these people with obstruction would be a deterrent to others to some degree. But letting the few who cross over the line have their fun is always an option in dealing with things like this. Better for optics and keeps the peace.

When the opposition is calling you draconian, don't help them prove their case by responding in a draconian way. Best to ignore them. This woman's tweet probably had no significant impact on the ICE operation anyway.

It's just irritating and frustrating watching the Left back illegals and criminals all whilst stabbing law-abiding citizens in the back. The democRATS have shifted so far Left that they have exposed themselves as mainstream socialists and communists. Many in this group think Bernie is too right-wing. Go figure.

It's apparent they care more about the people who break our laws than those who abide by our laws.
