IANAL, But This Sounds Like A Splendid Approach

Make Insurrection And Sedition Penalties Great Again


8 U.S. Code §1481:

(a) A person who is a national of the United States whether by birth or naturalization, shall lose his nationality by voluntarily performing any of the following acts with the intention of relinquishing United States nationality—

 ...

(7)
committing any act of treason against, or attempting by force to overthrow, or bearing arms against, the United States, violating or conspiring to violate any of the provisions of section 2383 of title 18, or willfully performing any act in violation of section 2385 of title 18, or violating section 2384 of title 18 by engaging in a conspiracy to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, if and when he is convicted thereof by a court martial or by a court of competent jurisdiction.


For the link-impaired those three sections are Rebellion and Insurrection, Overthrow, and Seditious Conspiracy against the United States.

Everyone attempting to hinder ICE raids, or vehicles and government agents undertaking them, qualifies under those provisions, under 18 USC §2383:

Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

So the government is perfectly justified in declaring martial law, rounding up anyone who does so in the future, and finding them at a court martial guilty, stripping them of their American citizenship, and shipping them to Gitmo, as upon conviction they lose all rights of US citizenship, and the Constitution and its protections no longer apply to them.

The rest of 8 USC §1481 helpfully notes that anyone who performs any such act is considered to have done so voluntarily, and performing the acts renders one guilty under that statute until proven innocent. Literally. So getting rounded up at such an incident justifies stripping you of your US citizenship, putting you in prison with other non-citizens, and sentencing you to death, in short order. Yes, really. One declaration from POTUS, and we could be shipping people to Gitmo and hanging them by Friday!

That could even be applied to Gov. Gabbin' Nuisance, L.A.'s derelict and full communist Mayor Karen Basshole, and any federal judge who attempts to stick their nose into the government's business.

As a bonus, the president, without let or hindrance from anyone else, can unilaterally declare martial law in Los Angeles or any other city similarly besieged UFN, which takes the entire purview of the subsequent business out of the jurisdiction of both the federal courts and the DoJ, leaving weak sisters like Kash Patel and Pam Bondi - not to mention 677 federal district judges - wholly irrelevant to further activities, and puts the chain of command directly from the president to SecDef Hegseth and the military tribunals the designated local commander establishes, putting the entire area under the jurisdiction of the UCMJ, which treats sedition rather harshly, under Article 94. The time to appeal any decisions out of the military trial system to where civilian authorities could have a say could be accounted in years, by which time whole swaths of former US citizens could already be sentenced. Or worse.

BTW, any such citizenship-stripping act merits 10 years in federal prison, but sedition, which is any action of violence or disturbance against the civil authorities, adjudicated by a military court martial, can be used to invoke the death penalty.

Be still, my beating heart! We could skip Air Pinochet, and just go with gibbets in ranks ten abreast.

OMG! Pam Bondi Pops Her AG Cherry!











After going 0 for 83 days, the DoJ finally found someone to arrest: Two judges, and one spouse, all for harboring or aiding and abetting illegal alien gang members. Still no word on going after the recipients of hundreds of thousands of fake social security checks for 150-year-olds for decades, and no one's said a word about looking into 535 congressweasels who enter government employ as thousandaires and become multi-millionaires within months, let alone looking into hundreds to thousands of acts of domestic terrorism against Elon Musk, Tesla, dealerships, and Tesla owners nationwide, but at least 3 arrests is better than 0 for 84 days, amirite?

We haven't checked, but we're pretty sure Trump himself had been charged with 84 counts of everything under the sun under various legal shenanigans in any dozen kangaroo courts by Day 84 of Mr. Fraudulent's Reign Of Lawlessness, if you're keeping score at home. (We give a modicum of shrift to the argument that it's harder to build good cases if you're going to have to assemble, ya know...bona fide evidence.)

We hate to throw shade at USAG Bondi now that someone, somewhere, finally found a crime or three they could prosecute (one wonders if they needed both hands, a map, and a rear view mirror to find their own asses), but at this rate, they'll barely crack 50 arrests before POTUS is termed out in 2029.

As Mr. Churchill once remarked, "This isn't the beginning of the end, but at least it's the end of the beginning.

To the short bus of US attorneys and investigators who apparently populate the bulk of the DoJ:

Moar, harder, faster, you gang of glacially slow (and we mean that in every possible sense of the phrase) buffoons. Stop licking the windows, and get cracking. But thanks for finally pulling your heads out of a dark, fetid place, and getting on the job.

And minus-ten style points for not perp-walking both judges in front of banks of news cameras.
