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.

So don't do it like ICE. Do actual background checks, don't just hire anyone with a gun.
So... spend months getting a system in place to evaluate potential militia members and a year training them so that they are less likely to kill each other every time they reach for the gun they left in the backseat.
Yeah, I am sure trump and the christofacists will wait for that. "Give us a year and we'll put a stop to you! Okay, maybe two".
Also, that is still a state run militia and it still becomes a civil war.
What other choice do we have at this point? Fight back or just comply and die anyway ? That’s not freedom
Exactly. If Governors/state legislatures authorize use of force in one way or another to stand up to them we might actually see some effective resistance.
I am sick of these "so do something" comments when everybody knows that if you aren't executed by ice you will be arrested by your local PD, prosecuted and likely go to jail. Basically asking people to throw their life away to maybe take out a couple of immigration officers out of like 20k. That's not resistance, that's stupidity.
Agreed. Forming second amendment militias is literally a right we have and we better get to it. The presence might bring decorum, organization and and accountability to this terrorist group rampaging through our streets.
That is a different question. There are plenty of things that can, and can't be done to fight back. And... maybe those are the kinds of conversations to have with local community organizers rather than strangers on social media?
But just because you want to do something doesn't mean what you want to do is at all a good idea or will serve any purpose. And understanding those shortcomings is the difference between resistance and roleplaying.
I strongly disagree and I think state backed militias should be formed. I also find your tone very condescending
