No judicial warrant.
No crime allegations.
No documentation showing they are law enforcement.

They s can happen to anyone now.
Pure evil.

It's a disgrace.
I disagree with him on many things concerning the Gaza conflict.
Nevertheless, what is happening here is an unprecedented violation of law!
What is happening here is tyranny!

plainclothes officers = secret police

why blur their faces? Like DOGE, we need to see them.

Show their faces.

one especially harrowing detail: Khalil grew up in a Palestinian refugee camp in Syria. the US is now trying to deport him back there, even though his family fled Syria in the aftermath of the country's civil war, according to his attorneys

it's also worth noting that, despite the high-profile nature of this arrest + the obscure statute being used to target Khalil, ICE does this kind of thing often. plainclothes officers, arresting people without a warrant, arresting people who have green cards—none of it is unusual

“plainclothes officers” just means secret police

Why block their faces though.?

Mahmoud Khalil. Say his name. Say the names of all who come after him. Take to the streets. Hold their names high on placards. Let those in power know we see their crimes. We will not forget. We will never accept midnight abductions as the new normal.

Filmed by Khalil's very pregnant wife whose terror you can plainly hear: https://youtube.com/shorts/B3f9jbuP9uE?si=-oyT1OmWuoLcL5Qe

Surely the arresting officer should give their names or a number ID.
Also “ under what power “ is he being arrested and taken away ?
Basic human rights !
This is pretty shocking.
