I wonder what would happen if you opened fire against these attempts? If you are not identifying yourself as law enforcement, one would fear for ones life and could open fire and protect oneself?
A guy in Huntington Beach just had his front door literally blown off at 6am and home raided while his wife and young kids were sleeping in the home because he accidently rear ended an unmarked pickup truck that happened to be full of ICE agents a week prior. They accused him of doing it intentionally in order to interfere even though they let him go when it happened and everyone in the family is a US citizen.
The people that did that have names and addresses. They have families and friends and workplaces. They are real people who can easily be hurt in any number of ways by anyone who happens to know their name.
Be a real shame.
You die but you kill a few Nazis.
Just remember there are a lot more of us than there are them.
Far better than "you die in el Salvador"
This is the sad state of the USA.

He will declare martial law regardless.
I’m no attorney and (luckily) have never been in a situation where I’ve had to use my firearm in defense of my life. But I will say, it depends on the circumstances. In Texas (and other states I’m sure), we are encouraged to only use firearms as a last resort of defense and in a situation where any other action would likely or reasonably result in our death (apart from maybe your home, castle doctrine). So out in public, it would be tricky to justify the use of deadly force where you might otherwise have had the option of running away from your alleged captors, calling local law enforcement, or some other course of action.
If you do survive the encounter, you will see the inside of a courtroom and I have a feeling the proceedings will be biased against you.
That being said, a few tips:
You can't expect to be safe running from a gunman in a lot of circumstances
In this case where it isn't even ice you would be in the clear if you lived however if 2 armed men approach with guns drawn you not being a fictional character in a western are fucked.
Best bet would be for multiple people to obstruct and delay and get the actual cops hoping an actual gunfight is undesirables for all.
