Tuesday

but ICE doesn't play by those rules and they don't give a crap about the Constitution. They'll accuse you of ramming their vehicle when they are the rammers. They'll break your window if you don't roll it down and they'll drag you out of the car through it, and if you do roll it down they'll drag you out anyhow and search the car, 4th Amendment be damned. The best advice is to avoid being in a car altogether where ICE is around.
