- what a given visa allows
- whether or not someone is a naturalized citizen
- whether or not someone is a citizen by birth
and all kinds of things that seem like they should be core, table stakes knowledge of the job they are supposedly doing.

- danesparza 1y agoIgnorance of the law does not excuse you from having to follow it. I'm sure ICE would be the first to point this out in court -- so it's kind of ironic having to point this out here. Thank goodness for the ACLU, Amnesty International, Democracy Forward, various state AG offices, and the American Bar Association.
- iphone_elegance 1y agoI'd usually agree but tbh law isn't really a thing anymore, it sucks but we all have to adjust to the new order

- sterlind 1y ago> Ignorance of the law does not excuse you from having to follow it. ICE agents and other Federal workers are largely insulated from consequences due to Sovereign Immunity protections. only egregious, malicious violations cause them personal liability. and Trump can dole out pardons if it comes to that. > Thank goodness for the ACLU, Amnesty International, Democracy Forward, various state AG offices, and the American Bar Association. it's nice that they're fighting, but the Supreme Court has shown a remarkable tolerance for flagrant lawlessness by the Administration (e.g. DHS v. DVD.) sometimes because the Court is sympathetic to Trump's objectives, sometimes because they fear he'll ignore them and do it anyway, and they'll lose the resulting power struggle (nine sedentary septuagenarians vs. the US Armed Forces.)
