Under Pressure From Trump, ICE Is Pushing Legal Boundaries.
Under Pressure From Trump, ICE Is Pushing Legal Boundaries
Confrontations with judges are grabbing attention, but more quietly a pattern of questionable arrests shows the extent to which the administration is willing to test norms and laws.
The title makes it sound as if ICE employees dont fucking love doing this.
From their POV:
If it's found to be legal, then it's "hell yeah, tacticool.gif".
If it's found to be illegal, then "my client was following the lawful orders of their superiors with the understanding that their actions were legal and also qualified immunity."
Were they not already trampling that boundary?
Larping around apartment buildings taping over cameras as they go was already a violation of laws. Abducting people without a warrant was already a violation of laws. Disappearing people to other countries and destroying the paper trail was already a violation of laws.
me before a judge for my heinous crimes: "i was simply pushing legal boundaries"
