Same thing w/ the “crisis of boys/men.” When it was just Black, Latino, and Native boys & men, it was all “a pathology born of bad cultures.” Now that it’s impacting white boys & men, it’s suddenly a complex melange of social trends 🙄

Yes, this is a very important thing to acknowledge; the statements of the ICE officers on the scene re: the legal basis is as trustworthy as to the actual bounds of the law as the legal musings of a random beat cop or detective. They’re not lawyers or prosecutors. bsky.app/profile/davi...
ICE can't unilaterally revoke someone's green card, even if some ICE agents think they can. ICE agents in general don't know much about immigration law because they don't have to. They just detain people and let the courts sort it out.

You are not wrong. The ICE Detainee locator can take up to 24 hours to update, at times. bsky.app/profile/masb...

Yes. In 2003, the Supreme Court even blessed *mandatory* pre-removal hearing detention with no right to seek bond.

There is a process to challenge the legal basis for detention, but that’s not an option for most people as the law does generally permit detention in nearly all cases.
Can they lawfully detain someone prior to the removal hearing being held?

While the State Department CAN revoke *visas* with very little legal process involved, stripping someone of a green card is done by DHS (not the State Department) and requires filing formal charges alleging a violation of immigration law and a removal hearing in front of an immigration judge.
Rubio says the US will now start revoking green cards

The essential holding was that even non-citizens have due-process rights. Arbitrary expulsion is not allowed, but in the new age we are now in....who TF knows.
