Do you really have any rights if they are openly saying they will just make up reasons to detain you?

Don't commit crimes for Pete Hegseth.

The Court ruled that Hegseth's order was illegal and violated the PCA.

DoD is aware that Hegseth is about to order them to commit crimes. In the California litigation, it was revealed that DoD had a literal powerpoint slide telling the military they can't do these things. Hegseth ordered them to do it anyway (and tried to avoid leaving written evidence of his order).

The PCA is a valid exercise of Congress's constitutional authority to regulate the military.

The Posse Comitatus Act makes if a crime for federal military to participate in domestic law enforcement activities, absent certain exceptions that don't apply currently.

“All people in the United States are entitled to due process — without exception. When the government arrests any person inside the United States, it must be required to prove to a judge that there is an actual reason for the person’s detention.”

UPDATE: Our client received a bond hearing as a result of the federal court's order. He was granted bond. He is now released and back home.

He spent more than two months in jail without any due process under the Laken Riley Act. The federal court put a stop to that injustice.

As Trump orders the military to join ICE civil arrest teams, remember:

The President does not have unilateral power over the military.

Art. I, sec. 8 of the Constitution specifically gives *Congress* the power to make the rules for this.

Congress made a law saying Trump's order is a crime.

"A force that exists for protection also has the potential to be a dangerous tool for internal repression. Once the door is open to military forces targeting some of the population, that door is very hard to close. When the rule of law becomes the rule of force, no one will be safe."

Periodic reminder that the Constitution protects the right to publicly assemble and be heard. "Protest" is not a dirty word.

Things ICE doesn't tell you:

ICE can usually put somebody in immigration proceedings WITHOUT arresting them.

And if ICE does arrest somebody, ICE usually has discretion to RELEASE the person after booking on conditions and with a court date.

Mass arrests/mass detention is 100% a choice by ICE.

Habeas corpus is literally the thing that prevents the government from putting anybody they want in jail forever.

This is not an exaggeration. That's literally what it is.

Any threat to suspend habeas is an attack on the rights and physical security of every person in the United States.
