You are following the law and that you were detained.
voice-verified
in violation of your Fourth and Fifth Amendment due process rights.
voice-verified
It's pretty straightforward.
voice-verified
I mean, this is kind of the precedence that's been set.
voice-verified
ICE literally did something that was outside of their jurisdictional authority to do.
voice-verified
There's been zero authority afforded to them by Congress.
voice-verified
And even though the DOJ sent a memo that doesn't count as law or principle.
voice-verified
So to me, it's a pretty clear cut case of ICE violating their responsibility, doing something that they simply did not have the authority to do.
voice-verified
um and if i was him i would also use this to elevate and to educate as many people as possible he is in a position of privilege and i say that not as a bad thing i see that as a good thing because he can leverage that privilege to educate more folks i'm here in chicago and i was extraordinarily proud that ice complained
voice-verified
that we are having difficulty finding folks in Chicago and arresting folks in Chicago because people know their rights so well, we are having difficulty arresting them.
voice-verified
And that's the message I would give to the representative from New York, to the comptroller from New York, to make sure you're using this terrible incident as an opportunity to educate the masses on how to better protect your rights going forward as well.
voice-verified
They don't have a leg to stand on.
voice-verified
They would be foolish to maintain these charges and it would be a vanity project.
voice-verified
It's just going to elevate his platform.
voice-verified
I saw some people criticizing him that, oh, well, he did a political stunt because he's running for mayor.
voice-verified
And my point to those folks is this is the kind of stunt that I want people in power to pull.
voice-verified
This is how you show that you are willing to put your neck on the line for what's right, for what's moral, for what's principled.
voice-verified
We've always been a nation of immigrants.
voice-verified
You know, you're here one of three ways.
voice-verified
Either you're an indigenous person or you're the descendant of enslaved black people who are trafficked here or you're an immigrant.
