It seems a new consensus has developed among the segment of perpetually online legal wonks who don’t believe in national borders. According to these pseudo-experts, U.S. citizens enjoy what basically amounts to a categorical exemption from the jurisdiction and legal authority of federal immigration agents. ICE agents, they proclaim, aren’t real law enforcement officers, and therefore, you don’t have to listen to them, and there’s nothing they can do about it.
It is unclear when, precisely, the “online experts” reached this consensus. But its existence is evident in the aftermath of this week’s deadly ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis, which resulted in the death of 37-year-old Renee Good. Good’s death prompted countless variations of the “claim” to emerge from even “verified attorneys” on social media.
