Dude, do you live under a rock?

I don’t know why or who is looking in the kids book bag, but let me tell you something

Shoplifting rings in major cities, specifically blue cities where the law is not enforced, shoplifters stuff all kinds of goods in kids book bags and the poor kid gets to walk out of the store with it. I’ve seen it.

Pretty clear violation of the 4th Amendment of the US Constitution protections against unreasonable searches and seizures.

These guys are not the police. And they’re a sad excuse for a law enforcement agency. They give real cops a bad name.

Proof? And not mcclaughlin or some other known DHS liar.

5-year-old asylum seeker detained as ICE expands enforcement in Minnesota
The 5-year-old was apprehended by immigration officials shortly after arriving home from preschool while his father was in their driveway, officials said.

"Another adult living in the home was outside and begged the agents to let them take care of the small child, but was refused," officials from Conejo Ramos' school said. "Instead, the agent took the child out of the still-running vehicle, led him to the door, and directed him to knock -- asking to be let in to see if anyone else was home -- essentially using a 5-year-old as bait."
Refusing to let a family member take care of the child and then using the child as bait - those are some solid family values on display.

Snatching children - ICE is a modern El Coco.

You didn't even watch the video that I posted. They start with the video from the agent's phone and show why it can be misleading before compiling views from multiple sources to give a better perspective than any single source.

You have a link to "the fact the hospital agreed he was hit" or are you pulling sh!t out of your ass again. I'm pretty sure that would be a violation of HIPAA if they didn't have Ross' written consent.

Thank you for admitting that you're going to lie. :D

Why does it matter if she hit him or not?
There were several ICE agents in the street and around her car, but that didn’t stop her from recklessly peeling out like a nut

She was acting like an unhinged lunatic interfering with ICE from doing there already dangerous job …. But despite that, that’s not what got her shot

They were looking for 2 different men from that house. The US citizen refused ID and fingerprinting to ID himself. He was released once positive ID was proven. Neither one of the other 2 were found. Both sexual predators according to their records.

DHS admitted they had the wrong house.

Would you be ok if ICE demanded your papers and fingerprints? And if you didn’t comply, being dragged out into the winter in your underwear?

Of course you wouldn’t.

If you watched the video why are you suggesting she peeled out?

He probably watched the video that was altered (sped up) to make it look like she peeled out /accelerated toward Agent Ross.

He appears to be too afraid to watch or acknowledge any video or other evidence that might shatter his fragile world view that everything the trump regime tells him is the truth.

He's projecting when he accuses others of having a "derangement syndrome".

Gil, these are both the talking points given by DHS, that doesn't make them true.

The families who were impacted give different accounts in both situations.

He said she said. The truth is somewhere in between as you say.

ICE needs an administrative warrent as opposed to a judicial warrant.

The policy argues that because subjects of these warrants have already received full due process and hold final orders of removal, further judicial authorization is unnecessary.

He said, she said is accurate but mcclaughlin, bovino and others have been caught in enough lies to question the truth of what they're saying here. They've lost their credibility.

As far as warrantless searches, you're partly right that ICE often uses administrative warrants for immigration enforcement actions. Under generally established law, administrative warrants don't allow ICE to enter homes without a judge’s warrant or consent. This will play out in court and I expect the lower courts to enforce traditional Fourth Amendment protections and require judicial warrants for forced home entries outside of narrow, already established exceptions. An appeal to SCOTUS is the wild card - will they carve an immigration-specific exception? Or will they uphold classic home privacy protections? A true originalist like Antonin Scalia would very likely reject the idea that ICE can force entry into a home using only an executive-issued administrative warrant. We'll see what this Court does if it gets that far.

I don’t either but it’s highly intrusive nd violates my constitutional rights. Those are pretty damned important to us all.

The warrant thing will be interesting and I'm not sure how it will be parsed. It's been an issue for quite some time - under other administrations (both Dem and GOP) the restriction of not using an administrative warrant to enter a house to get an illegal immigrant who has already been through all their judicial procedures and due process and has a deportation order has resulted in immigration officials sitting outside of houses and the persons still resisting deportation waving to them from their windows. It would seem in those cases, especially with due process being fully used up, that this shouldn't happen. But it does. Sanctuary policies and local and state governments not only not working with immigration officials but in fact working against immigration officials. A true originalist like Scalia could fall back onto the Constitution and say the Executive branch has the authority to carry out the laws and can remove immigrants with deportation orders. A judge like that could also fall back that it's the federal government, not the states or local, that dictate immigration laws and that sanctuary laws and refusal to cooperate with federal officials runs contrary to the Constitution as well.
