  • bad example imo. Bundy’s militia set up check points to demand anyone driving past proved they were a US citizen at gunpoint, and then went on to committ the 2014 Vegas Mass Shootihg, or were sent to jail for more than a decade. The leaders (Bundy and two sons) were arrested and put on trial several times and only escaped due to a jury deadlock and prosecutorial mishandling of documents.

    They were also against the Bureau of Land Management, not the US Army or ICE, and their armed stand off caused those threatening the Land Mgmt agents to be arrested by the FBI and incarcerated.

    The situation discussed (vs a hypothetical US ethnic cleansing) is not about a Land dispute with the land bureau over cattle grazing, and is also started before 9/11, two Bush and two Trump administrations and the expansion of powers to ICE and immigration
