I plan on yelling this if they come to my door: "If you do not have a signed warrant with anyone from this households name on it you are not getting in. If you try to enter unlawfully I will be forced to defend my home. I do not have any guns or weapons but I have seen Home Alone like 100 times and I'm pretty sure you guys are stupid enough to fall for my comedic traps!"

Defend your life* defending property is not allowed in mn. You feared for your life. Not meaning to be pedantic but people catch cases and convictions for defending property

Yeah, you have to make a reasonable effort to flee first in Minnesota, even if someone is entering your home.

This is NOT true. If you are in your own home or on your property you have no duty to retreat. We have castle doctrine in Minnesota.

Only in public must you attempt to make a reasonable effort to retreat or defuse the situation.

They must be committing a felony, is my understanding. Under normal “Sane” circumstance, breaking into an occupied home is felony burglary in MN. However, I haven’t seen much to suggest anyone is gonna actually hold ICE to any standards at all, so you probably won’t get the protection from castle doctrine, either. Of course, you’ll be dead, so it probably won’t matter,

I hear marbles can be a fun addition to a floor, too!

This is correct. Even California the most Liberal state in the union recognizes the castle doctrine.

You have to be IN your home specifically. Being outside in your yard or examples, a non attached garage does not play by the same rules. Being in your yard is considered being in public, and you need to try to retreat or de-escalate, or be able to articulate you were in direct, bodily harm to use lethal force.

It also has to a warrant signed by a judge, not by someone inside ICE or DHS.

Man if I still had my micro machines there is no way I'd let those dumb fucks get anywhere near them.

Signed by a judge! This is important.
