And if the 4th amendment can be so interpreted to permit the arrests of migrants on no basis other than alleged violation of immigration law and on no certification other than an agent of the government then it would seem we've been living under tyranny for a long

How in the world could this not be an unconstitutional violation of the 4th amendment?
I just read through every headline in Dorf on Law since January 20th and not a single post dealt with this issue. Before people get hurt can we not deal with this in the courts? If the courts give their

And it is maddening because before I read about protests escalating into riots I'd like to read about legal challenges to ICE's use of administrative warrants rather than judicial warrants to arrest migrants.

Of all the MAGA billionaires Bill Ackman may not be the most dangerous but he is without doubt the worst.
