If you are a US citizen being picked up by ICE, you are entirely within your moral rights to resist your detention with lethal force.
id argue even if you aren't a US citizen it's still ethical to fight back
Fair enough. But at least if you aren't a legal citizen, what they're doing might technically be legal. And you're probably "just" going to be deported to your home country. If you are a citizen, there may be no ambiguity. There often may simply be nowhere to deport you to except an offshore gulag.
I'm a US citizen by birth. My ancestry in the country goes back to before the revolution. I have citizenship nowhere else. There is nowhere on Earth that I could emigrate and qualify for citizenship by ancestry. Believe me, I've checked. There is no country on Earth that they could deport me to that would accept that deportation. If I'm getting rounded up by ICE, it is guaranteed that I'm going that hellhole in El Salvador.
This doesn't mean that me being sent there is somehow worse than an immigrant being sent there. No one deserves to be sent there. But the fact remains that the vast majority of people being rounded up by ICE are not being sent there. But if ICE comes for me, there is no ambiguity. I have nothing left to lose.
