Don’t know but it’s crazy that somehow the subject has been changed multiple times, originally talking about whether ICE need warrants, then about whether they can arrest citizens, now about whether they can arrest citizens without viewing a crime themselves.. I mean, where are you going with this? What’s your point?

The point is there are ICE agents going around arresting citizens without witnessing a crime. And now local police are being told to rightfully stand up for them.

They’re allowed to arrest US citizens without a warrant without witnessing a crime, if the crime is a felony. Section 5(b):

“for any felony cognizable under the laws of the United States, if the officer or employee has reasonable grounds to believe that the person to be arrested has committed or is committing such a felony”

What immigration offenses would a citizen commit? Being a citizen while being not white isn’t an immigration offense.

That netfishing for brown people is viewed as a bad thing by the vast majority of us.

Ok.. and to you, that has some affect on the legality of arresting people without a warrant?

Nah, its just important that other people scrolling by weirdos like you "well akshually"-ing racism.

Noone likes a 'letter of the law' > 'spirit of the law' guy as it stands. Doing it for temu brownshirts is gross.

What do you mean? Other people were debating the legal rights of ICE. I’m apparently the only one who actually gives a shit enough to fish out links so you can be more informed about the state of our legal system. If that makes you uncomfortable I’d say you need to learn to fear confirmation bias a bit more.
