Can you provide a news link to this? As I understand it, courts have historically followed the precedent that “you can’t suppress the body”, meaning even if the method of an arrest is illegal, you don’t have to let the person go if their arrest is otherwise valid.

- gortok 9mo agoI wasn’t clear. I’m referring to a news link indicating that judges have released folks due to valid arrest warrants but invalid means of arresting folks.
- carefulfungi 9mo agoThey didn't have a valid warrant. Without a judge's review, they broke down his door and entered, armed, and abducted him.
- gortok 9mo agoI understand, but do you have a news link to where the judge released him?

- CleaveIt2Beaver 9mo agoIsn't that moving the goalposts? The comment you were asking under specifically said these arrests were made without obtaining a warrant.
- gortok 9mo agoICE uses administrative warrants; and while administrative warrants do not allow for seizures inside a home, see my comment about the legal argument of “you can’t suppress the body” for why there’s not a whole lot that can be done if they do decide to kick down your door. The latest Serious Trouble podcast goes into this at the 12 minute mark. https://www.serioustrouble.show/p/120-days https://www.serioustrouble.show/p/120-days In this case the story didn’t make it clear whether or not they even had an administrative warrant. I’d be interested to find out if they did.
