[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ICE agents haven’t broken any laws.

Grandstanding politicians and a judge have broken the law.

No federal agents will be tried for anything.

Some politicians and judges might go to trial.[/quote]

Answer this:

What law did the politicians and judge break?

Hint: None.

What laws did ICE break in arresting Lander?

False arrest - ICE falsely accused Lander of assault when there is no evidence he committed assault.  They also had no warrant or probably cause, which means ICE's actions may constitute false arrest and a violation of the Fourth Amendment

Due Process violation - arresting someone based on false accusations and without legal justification can be illegal violations of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments.

That said, ICE may have qualified immunity, which does not mean they are innocent of those violations, it just gives them some protection against criminal prosecution but they could still face civil suits based on those violations.[/quote]

"False arrest - ICE falsely accused Lander of assault when [b]there is no evidence he committed assault[/b]. They also had [b]no[/b] warrant or [b]probably cause[/b], which means ICE's actions [b]may constitute false arrest[/b] and a violation of the Fourth Amendment"

Hmmm, so sure of yourself on the bolded text.  Then you switch to "may".  Why is that?

I'm sure you are feverishly reviewing footage and have all the answers.[/quote]

I have yet to see any evidence to prove the claims against Lander.  If you want me to not be so sure then you need to provide evidence that Lander assaulted ICE.

As for the "may" context and reading comprehension are not your strong suit.  As to whether ICE will face repercussions is up to Lander and his lawyers and whether they want to pursue it.  That's why it's conditioned and why I used "may."[/quote]
