Part of thriving under collapse has to be to mourn the life that you thought you'd be able to live.
That will take a while. Most of us are not there yet.

maybe there was actually a pretty good reason for the 14th amendment to have banned insurrectionists who tried to overthrow the government from serving in government and the decision to just decide it was a dead letter and ignore it was a horrible mistake?

A very important reminder. ICE can't go inside a house without the permission of someone there. Administrative warrants are not judicial warrants.
Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge).
You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*
