Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

In most cases, that's a necessary but not sufficient condition to legally shoot someone. Castle doctrine
which not all states subscribe to
just means that a homeowner has no duty to retreat from their home even in a situation where they believe that they could do so safely, can instead use deadly force against an intruder, but there are also other conditions. Usually you need to also reasonably believe that you are at threat of death or serious bodily injury. It's not, alone, a blank check to use deadly force against someone illegally entering your home.
In Texas, which has unusually permissive laws, you're allowed to use deadly force against someone engaging in burglary if you reasonably believe that you cannot otherwise protect your property without risk of death or severe injury, which is probably the closest that I'm aware of:

If ICE is breaking down my door, the legality of using lethal force against them is irrelevant. They don't concern themselves with the law or constitutional protections, so there's no reason for me to. It's not like I can expect access to legal counsel or judicial process if I'm arrested by them. So if it comes to a direct confrontation with ICE, my life and liberty are essentially null and void anyway, and I will therefore respond accordingly. Better to die in a shootout with them than get taken to some black site, outside of any legal jurisdiction, to endure god knows what.
You would 100% open the door and surrender if the fantastic tone of your post is any consideration.
You don't know a god damn thing about me or what I'm willing to do to defy what I consider to be immoral and unjust actions by my government. And if you think you can determine by the "tone" of a few of my sentences, ANY fucking thing about who I am, my strength or constitution as a person, then you're an impudent, presumptuous little prick.
I don't know who you are and I don't care. Your opinion of me means absolutely nothing to me. Think whatever the hell you want about me, I don't care.
If that tone of text is any indication, I anticipate you would sacrifice your kids and wife before putting yourself in danger.
ICE is going around in civilian clothing with masks on and no clear markings of being law enforcement. Would you really blame someone for thinking they are burglars and starts shooting at them?
