Sir, this is ~~a Wendy's~~ Minnesota. There's no castle doctrine, but rather a duty to retreat.
I could absolutely be wrong about this because I’ve never really looked it up, but I thought “duty to retreat” still allowed use of lethal force once there is nowhere left to retreat (for example, once in your own home).
Part of those pesky “inalienable rights”.
Look, if I'm on that jury I'm not convicting you if nazis break down your door and you start defending yourself
Incorrect. Minnesota has a castle doctrine for defending your home, a duty to retreat in public.
Duty to retreat does not apply when you are already in your own home. It's only when you are in public or outside of the protection of your own home.
I understand, however in the article it states "The shift comes as the Trump administration dramatically expands immigration arrests nationwide..."
There's a reason this started in areas such as Minnesota. I fully believe this is just trial runs and laying the (il)legal framework to handle more difficult areas.
"Nationwide" is sanewashing. It's really expanding specifically to blue states (because its real purpose is punishing the regime's political enemies).
