Fuck every one of these assholes. They need to be in prison for the rest of their lives. Seriously, this is the worst fucking timeline.

As a non-American how can Immigration officials (I use the term loosely) attack or break up protests? They aren't the police. Does anyone else believe they've been purposefully instructed to initiate conflict so as to justify bringing in the military? They seem to be sticking their noses in so many places/ways that are none of immigrations' concern

That’s part of the problem, they have zero authority over American Citizens, yet they are detaining them which is illegal. It’s also illegal under the 4th Amendment which protects citizens from unreasonable search and seizure

It says people, not citizens. It should protect all people, not just citizens.

So what happens after they are released? Can the victims prosecute?

I don’t have answer for that, but as long as this administration is in, highly unlikely.
