You can tell them to piss off but they can beat and/or kill you and get away with it so words arent really gonna have much stopping power in this case.

We live in a society where might = right. If you have the firepower or other means to stop them from entering your private space then you have the right to do so. 

You don’t really have the right to shoot anybody. (Depends on the state) But then you’d be accused of shooting a federal officer. Do you realy want that?
Point of order, you will be accused posthumously of shooting a federal officer. You will not survive the exchange.

That’s not always true. Cops are notoriously bad shots and these ice agents are no better.

Just remember that most walls in modern american homes are made of nothing much stronger than plywood. In any situation you should return fire from good cover to try and avoid becoming a body.

There is no safe place to hide in a modern american home. The 2 most common rounds 9mm and NATO 5.56 will easily go through 5 or 6 layers of sheetrock or a piece of plywood and keep on going.

Do you want to risk it when you’re a father and want your kids to grow up with a dad? Or do you want to risk a stray bullet hitting a neighbor? Or do you want to just get arrested and probably released at some point with a really good case against the government that didn’t uphold the constitution?

I mean, you can weigh the pros and the cons yourself. 

I was hardly suggesting that anyone shoot at ICE. I was pointing out that doing so would get you killed.
