What kind of comedy is that? If some party denies the government the ability to protect its national border, such party is committing a treason. Just roll the fuckers over with tanks.

It's not treason, it is however interfering with multiple Federal Officers in the execution of their duties.

What Are the Penalties for 18 U.S.C 111?

This statute outlines certain types of assault against a federal officer and the appropriate charges and penalties. Penalties for Defenses for Assaulting or Resisting a Federal Officer A simple assault of a federal officer carries a $100,000 fine and up to one year in prison.

For example, simple assault is forcibly assaulting, resisting, opposing, **impeding, intimidating, or interfering with federal officers while performing their duties. As noted, physical contact or injury is not required for a conviction.**

Simple federal assault is a Class A misdemeanor that carries up to 1 year in jail and fines of up to $100,000.

Ooh, let's do that then! Enforce the law, and these individuals will stop endangering the lives of fellow human beings, and other species. smh.

yeha im not sure why they were given a deadline instead of instructions for getting out of the way to prevent injury

Leaned this a long time ago. This is the way the Feds do things. They write a demand letter with time deadline certain. The amount of time you have to respond indicates how angry they are with you. By the end of day is very very bad.

if they were unarmed black guys at a traffic stop they'd be dead already. why treat traitors with kid gloves? we need to stop letting fascists get away with it, it's the reason it's gotten so bad and the only way to stop them is to no longer tolerate fascism

Do you really think that Texas police is much different to unarmed black guys against US military?

To be fair, most ROEs require you to receive fire before returning it, so the unarmed people would have to work harder to get shot by the Army.

Especially when there's likely a lot more black guys in the Army than the DPS.
