Video taken by reporters at the #courthouse show #BradLander standing by a #immigrant man in a crowded hallway when several men who appear to be law enforcement officers, some wearing masks, walk up to the pair in an apparent attempt to #arrest the immigrant. Lander repeatedly asks the agents whether they have a judicial #warrant & walks behind them, appearing to hold onto the man as the agents shepherd him toward the elevators.
An officer is heard in the video of the encounter claiming the handcuffed Nadler aide, seen crying, had pushed a #DHS officer. Another officer is also seen entering an area of the lawmaker’s office, over the objections of a Nadler aide, who asked for a #warrant before acceding to the demand [despite no warrant being presented].
The advocates said they did not witness any staff member pushing a DHS officer.
In the video,…#DHS officers entered #JerryNadler’s district office & accused staff members of “harboring rioters.” A Nadler staffer is seen crying & being handcuffed. Another officer is at a door trying to enter a private area of the office while a staffer asks for a #warrant.
#MahmoudKhalil appears before #immigration court in Louisiana this morning. Lawyers are asking the judge to #dismiss the #deportation case, arguing that his #arrest & #detention without a #warrant was #illegal & violated his #ConstitutionalRights.

Disgusting
The 16-year-old was dragged away & arrested by #Worcester PD because she kicked the car #ICE was holding her mother in as her mom was taken away. The day earlier, ICE had taken her dad as well.
"She told MassLive that she, along with a crowd of other people, asked ICE to show a #warrant for the #arrest. She said the agents replied, 'We don’t have to show you anything.'"

…When the federal prosecutors involved in the investigation of #student #protesters applied for a #warrant, a magistrate judge in NY rejected the request, finding that the govt did not have sufficient probable cause…
In an unusual move, #EmilBove insisted that the prosecutors appeal the ruling to a district court judge…. After weighing the request, Judge John Koeltl of Federal District Court of the SDNY instructed the chief magistrate judge, Sarah Netburn, to reconsider the application…
The #CivilRights Prosecutors refused to compile such a list that could be given to #ICE agents….
#EmilBove then shifted his focus to obtaining a search #warrant for the group’s #Instagram account…. He ordered prosecutors to apply for a search warrant for the nonpublic data associated with the account, these people said.
The premise of the application was also contentious within the department.
#FBI’s #Warrantless Search Ruled #Unconstitutional in a Blow to Government Spying
The FBI trawled #NSA records without a #warrant to investigate a man suspected of trying to join a terror group, prosecutors admit.
The decision gives a boost to the #surveillance critics who have long asked Congress to impose a warrant requirement on “backdoor” searches of NSA data collected under #Section702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, known as #FISA.

“Today, US #Immigration & Customs Enforcement (#ICE) agents raided a local establishment in the City of #Newark, detaining undocumented residents as well as #citizens, without producing a #warrant. One of the detainees is a US #military #veteran who suffered the #indignity of having the legitimacy of his military documentation questioned.

#Trump note:
if you live in #Northeast #USA like i do (#NewEngland, #NewYork, #NewJersey, #Pennsylvania, etc)
that square in east central New York is roughly the area around #SaratogaSprings #NY
it's nice. also rather pricey
a geographical artifact of the #USA #BorderPatrol's 100 mile zone in which it operates
for the rest of the Northeast, #US #Customs and #Border Protection has the #legal ability to suspend some of your #FourthAmendment #rights without a #warrant
Brazil must arrest Putin if he attends G20
#Brazil is obligated to arrest Putin if he attends the #G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro next month
The International Criminal Court (ICC) in March 2023 issued a #warrant for #Putin's #arrest due to his role in the deportation of Ukrainian children. Brazil is a party to the ICC’s Rome Statute and therefore required to detain Putin if he enters the country.
