Fascist Claims Protesting ICE Is Treason


Question submitted to the Chatbot, Copilot 🤖

🥸 What analysis/fact check can you give me regarding this blog comment?

💩 Joe Conservative: Greater equality between citizens and illegals (regardless of colour/ ethnicity) is a crime against the US and an obstruction of Justice. Stop obstructing Justice, Derv. btw - Protesting ICE is not only a call to defund the police, but a treasonous act. 11/23/2025.

🤖 Let's break down that blog comment carefully, because it mixes legal claims, political rhetoric, and mischaracterizations.

🧾 Claim 1: "Greater equality between citizens and illegals … is a crime against the US and an obstruction of Justice".

✅ Fact check.

U.S. law does not criminalize advocating for equal treatment of undocumented immigrants.

Obstruction of justice is a specific legal term: it refers to interfering with investigations, court proceedings, or law enforcement (e.g., destroying evidence, intimidating witnesses). Supporting immigrant rights or equality is not obstruction of justice under U.S. law.

This statement is rhetorical, not legally accurate. It conflates political disagreement with criminal conduct.

🧾 Claim 2: Protesting ICE is not only a call to defund the police, but a treasonous act.”

✅ Fact check.

Protesting ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) is protected under the First Amendment. Peaceful protest against government agencies is a constitutional right.

Defund the police Protesting ICE is not automatically equivalent to calling for defunding police. ICE is a federal immigration enforcement agency, not a local police department. Some activists may connect the two, but the claim is overgeneralized.

Treason: Treason in U.S. law is defined very narrowly in the Constitution (Article III, Section 3): *levying war against the United States, or adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.

Criticizing or protesting ICE does not meet this definition.

Courts have consistently held that dissent, protest, and criticism of government agencies are lawful political expression, not treason.

⚖️ Legal Reality vs. Rhetoric.

The blog comment uses charged language (crime, obstruction of justice, treason) to delegitimize political opposition.

None of the actions described -- advocating equality for undocumented immigrants or protesting ICE -- are crimes under U.S. law. In fact, they are protected political speech and activism.

📌 Takeaway. The blog comment is not factually accurate. It reflects a political opinion framed in legalistic terms, but the legal claims don't hold up.

•Equality advocacy ≠ obstruction of justice.
•Protesting ICE ≠ treason.
•Both are protected by the First Amendment.

🥸 ICE acts as king donald's Schutzstaffel in the attempted fascist takeover of America and "illegal aliens" are the "other" that is being demonized. Dissent is patriotic, not treasonous. btw, even US citizens are being swept up and arrested, simply for having a "suspicious" skin tone. Anyone who doesn't see how wrong this is? I say there is a good chance they are sociopathic fascists, which is what donald trump is.
