Long but VERY IMPORTANT POST here:
Words matter...especially when they are being used to justify assaulting American citizens doing the job that the American people voted for them to do.
KEY PHRASES:
"Peaceably to assemble"
This applies to any and all viewpoints in any location and cannot apply to violent terrorists who are intentionally inflicting bodily harm on other Americans with their 140 db whistle assaults. The same as shining lasers in their eyes.
"petition the Government for a redress of grievances"
This CANNOT be done towards Federal Agents doing a job they are paid to do. They cannot change immigration or deportation policy any more than the terrorists can.
This is what makes these people terrorists and not protesters.
They are terrorizing other American citizens doing their jobs to intimidate the overall population into giving into their political demands.
"Terrorism is the unlawful use or threat of violence against people or property to create fear and coerce governments, populations, or groups to achieve political, religious, or social goals, often through intimidation, coercion, or ransom, targeting civilians or infrastructure for broader impact beyond immediate victims. It's characterized by politically motivated violence, a desire to spread fear, and disruption of normal life to influence policy or societal conduct."
Those pretending to care about the Bill of Rights need to understand it first.
Below I've provided an extensive list where anyone and everyone can "peaceably assemble, and petition the Government for a redress of grievances".
Notice none of them are "in a federal officer's face screaming obscenities, shoving, impeding, and damaging their hearing while packing heat".
White House
Address: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20500
Relevance: The President sets ICE enforcement priorities via executive actions. Protests here often target administration policies on immigration.
United States Capitol Building
Address: East Capitol Street NE and First Street SE, Washington, DC 20004
Relevance: Congress legislates immigration laws and funds ICE. Assemblies on the Capitol grounds or nearby (e.g., the National Mall) can pressure lawmakers.
U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Headquarters
Address: 2703 Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20032 (St. Elizabeths Campus)
Relevance: DHS oversees ICE, making this a direct site for grievances about deportation enforcement.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Headquarters
Address: 500 12th Street SW, Washington, DC 20536
Relevance: ICE directly conducts raids, so peaceful demonstrations here address operational policies.
United States Supreme Court
Address: 1 First Street NE, Washington, DC 20543
Relevance: The Court rules on challenges to immigration policies, including those involving raids and deportations.
National Mall (near the Washington Monument or Reflecting Pool)
Address: 2 15th Street NW, Washington, DC 20024 (general area)
Relevance: Iconic for large-scale protests on federal issues, including immigration reform, allowing visibility to Congress and the White House.
Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building
Address: 1 Federal Drive, Fort Snelling, MN 55111
Relevance: Houses the ICE St. Paul Field Office (covering Minneapolis) and the Fort Snelling Immigration Court. This has been a focal point for anti-ICE protests, including ongoing demonstrations against deportation raids, with gatherings often outside the building.
Diana E. Murphy United States Courthouse
Address: 300 S 4th St, Minneapolis, MN 55415
Relevance: The primary federal courthouse in Minneapolis, where legal challenges to federal immigration policies (e.g., lawsuits against ICE actions) are filed and heard. It's a common site for protests seeking judicial redress on federal matters.
Powderhorn Park
Address: 3400 15th Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55407
Relevance: A diverse neighborhood park frequently used as a starting point for immigration rights marches and rallies, including recent anti-ICE protests. Its open spaces allow for large, peaceful gatherings to build community support and visibility before marching to federal sites.
The Commons Park
Address: 425 Portland Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55415
Relevance: A downtown public green space near government buildings, often serving as an assembly point for protests, including those marching to nearby federal or city sites to address grievances like immigration enforcement.
Minneapolis City Hall
Address: 350 S 5th St, Minneapolis, MN 55415
Relevance: While ICE is federal, the city can adopt policies limiting local cooperation (e.g., sanctuary measures). Protests here target local officials to petition for changes in how the city responds to federal raids, as seen in broader civic demonstrations
For assemblies outside D.C. or Minneapolis, consider federal courthouses or ICE detention centers in major cities (e.g., New York, Los Angeles), but verify local regulations.
I never wish to encourage the undocumented mental asylum lunatics, but at least they can't say they weren't informed about the truth of what they are doing.
