The thing I wish was being talked about more is that immigraiton is governed under civil law even as enforcement is criminalized. They don’t have to mirandize, they don’t always have warrants, people don’t have right to counsel. Ice detentions are horrible & judges cruel. “Due process” is a joke.

NEW footage of Mahmoud Khalil's arrest shows the Trump admin is lying.
First they said they had a warrant.
Then they admitted they didn't—saying they didn't *need* one, because Mahmoud wasn't cooperating & was going to flee.
They said he was a "flight risk."
But video shows that's not true either.
