[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are your thoughts son the anti-ice protests?[/quote]

...thoughts *on the anti-ICE protests? (apologies for typo)[/quote]

I’m not a fan of the protests. The vast majority of the agents “are just doing what they are being ordered to do” and are likely not a fan of it. [/quote]

You don’t get to hide behind “just following orders”.  Sorry. Not sorry. [/quote]

I don’t necessarily agree with their strategy or tactics, but their mission (rounding up illegal aliens) is legal.  At this point, every non-political appointee working in the federal govt “is just following orders.”  Therefore, everyone should resign?

There is no obligation to follow illegal or immoral  orders.[/quote]

As far as the arresting of illegal aliens, what actual laws are ICE agents breaking?[/quote]

Aside from arresting US citizens on extremely dubious claims of “interference?”[/quote]

The question was specifically about arrests of illegal aliens.[/quote]

I'm no expert but....I've read that ICE can indeed legally detain U.S. citizens.

Suppose an ICE agent reasonably suspects that a person is a non-citizen subject to deportation and their citizenship cannot be quickly verified (e.g., with a passport, birth certificate). In that case, they may be detained temporarily during the investigation. ICE agents may detain a U.S. citizen if there is a reasonable suspicion they are also a non-citizen subject to deportation and their citizenship status cannot be immediately verified.

OP - can you please chime in?[/quote]

How might an ICE agent suspect that a person is in the country illegally (not just a non-citizen)? How might they just happen upon someone that fits that and what would be the signs that would cause reasonable suspicion?

I’m not challenging, just wondering. [/quote]
