I think it’s fine if the show their ID to the person being arrested, like the FBI generally does when they show up at folks doors.
So the DEI, if consistent (lol, I know) is against all those times ICE rolled up on someone in an unmarked van, jumped out without badge, uniform, or warrant, and threw people into the van and drove off? Yeah, I know.
with the cooperation of local Worcester (MA) police...sigh: “They’re Trying to Kidnap Someone” – Mother Jones

Welp, ICE is officially detaining US citizens at the border for their political views. Streamer and pro-Palestinian activist Hassan Piker claims he was detained by ICE after being pulled aside for additional questioning by CBP while returning to the US from France. Despite having his passport, he was sent to an ICE detention center to be questioned about his political views, thoughts on Trump, and his Twitch bans. The government says he wasn't detained for his political views.. Just routine questions to grill a US citizen about their political views and opinions on Trump. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx2jwk6gjp1o
Sorry, couldn't unroll. Roger Parloff @rparloff A month after SCOTUS ordered govt to “facilitate” Abrego Garcia’s return, parties filed briefs last night over “state secrets” & “deliberative process” privileges. On 5/7 Secy Rubio filed sealed declaration claiming that any “agreement” with Bukele is a “state secret.” ... 1/5 I encourage everybody to read. Basically, Rubio is saying they can't argue for a return because any discovery in court would unlock state secrets. Garcia's team is calling bullshit, and that the US Government has been compelled to facilitate Garcia's return, saying they would try, but that senior admin officials are saying they have no plans to allow Garcia to return. Garcia's team is asking Xinis to review privately (in-camera) and then rule.
Which I'm sure the government will allow to happen. LOL. Sorry, it's not just secret, it's double-super-secret that even the courts can't know about.
Per LA Times Gov. Newsom calls for walking back free healthcare for illegal aliens in California as costs for coverage have exceeded billions more than what was initially projected & the state faces likely challenging economic times ahead.
Apparently, there is video, according to this: https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/waltham-mass-ice-arrest-boy-left-alone/
A federal judge has ruled that Pres. Trump's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged migrant gang members is lawful, in contrast to two other judges.

@yossarian hopefully you can clear up *cough, cough* some of the opinion from WD PA on regarding the opinion handed down yesterday (all I have is a tweet, and I don't want to link those as they don't always show up). Basically, as I am reading it, Judge Hines says that TdA is a Foreign Terrorist Orginization (as designated by Rubio) regarding to how it is applied to AEA. Is that correct? Also, there was a separate opinion handed down on a "class" of people the longer opinion may apply to. Of that, I get she is saying it doesn't apply because: A) the petitioner is no longer in the WD PA B) there are no other members of TdA who have been apprehended by ICE in WD PA. My question: Is this a strict reading? Or is the request by the petitioner to make the scope nationwide normal? I'm assuming you can find the two opinions. If not, they are on Roder Parloff's twitter account.
This article by a law professor is a good summary of what is going on in all the AEA cases. https://www.stevevladeck.com/p/150-the-state-of-play-in-the-alien
It's worth noting that while the Judge did say that Trump could use AEA to deport accused TdA members, the judge ruled that the administration still has to provide the accused with sufficient notice and grant them due process before they are deported. https://lawandcrime.com/high-profil...n-enemies-act-to-fast-track-migrant-removals/ That is basically the same ruling that the other courts have used in ruling against the administrations use of AEA and, also, what the lawyers for the men that were deported to El Salvador without due process have been asking for...
Yeah, Judge Haines's opinion basically takes the Rubio designation at face value, which right there is a problem as it's patently absurd on its face and is contrary to the other intelligence agencies' characterization of TdA (as noted in a previous post in this thread), ie., it is in no way controlled by or an arm of the Venezuelan government, nor has it "invaded" as any adherent to originalism would construe that term to mean under the AEA. If I understand what you're asking, chaski's link to Professor Vladeck's article discusses this more clearly than I can.
