| Make Insurrection And Sedition Penalties Great Again |
(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.
Pour encourager les autres.
