Furthermore, what is so damning about the Signal chat? It's organized protestors. That happens literally everywhere all the time for any number of like minded individuals. MAGA organized a ton of their 'stop the steal' protests via social media apps.
I don't believe it is legal to run the license plates of cars of suspected ICE officers using local government resources, and then directing people to stalk those cars.
Why should ICE officers be able to operate with anonymity? If they're entrusted with the power to strip constitutional freedoms of American citizens, why are they allowed to do so as faceless operatives?
Stop lying, these are not American citizens being deported
Not true. ICE arrested and then deported Chanthila Souvannarath, to Laos. Souvannarath was born in a refugee camp in Thailand and entered the United States before his first birthday, receiving lawful permanent residence. He became a U.S. citizen as a minor when his father naturalized and gained sole custody of him, meeting all requirements for derivative citizenship under immigration law at the time.
Beyond that, detaining American Citizens without due process (probable cause) is violating their rights.
So a guy who was a lawful permanent resident for 43 years but never decided to assert any claim to citizenship until he was arrested and prepared for deportation due to his prior convictions for illegal weapons possession and assaulting his girlfriend? That guy? The one who was already on a plane to Laos when the court order to ICE not to deport him to allow him to assert his claim was served by the court? So one criminal with a relatively dubious claim out of thousands detained and deported is your reason why ICE should be shut down?
