    On Sunday, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem told Fox News that Chicago was a “war zone” where her agents were not welcome to use restrooms.

    Good. They should not feel welcome ANYWHERE they go; no comfort, no peace, to the enemy.

      Noem: It’s a war zone out there! It’s crazy!

      Them: What do you mean? People are shooting at each other? Bodies in the streets?

      Noem: They won’t let us pee in their restrooms!

        Well did the ICE agents submit to gender checks first, to make sure they’re using the correct restroom? A copy of their birth certificate should suffice.

          Not good enough we also have to do a manual inspection. Michael testicletickler is going to be doing the inspections. Dont let the name worry you though, he doesn’t tickle testicles only fingers buttholes.

      Something, something - Third Amendment?

      I’m not an American - but I’m pretty sure the 3rd basically means that they can (and should) be refused service freely by anyone and everyone who wants to?

        No, the 3rd amendment means your house/apt can’t be turned into a barracks.

        Refusing service is just how things are, no specific amendment

          Fair enough!

          I don’t know the exact specifics surrounding the denial of access to bathrooms (ie. if they were private residence, commercial business or public access); but in the case of the first two - even if not necessary- either the 3rd or 4th amendments could be used as grounds to legally refuse entry and/or sue in the event of subsequent unlawful trespass.

          Either way, this entire fiasco is just an amusing sideshow to the otherwise absolute carnage that ICE is attempting to wreak upon US cities.

          I just wish I still had enough faith in the political opposition to be able to hold each and every one of these barbarians (starting with Stephen Miller) to account if/when the current regime collapses in on itself.
