"If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter."
Sworn affidavits show how, on the ground, this is simply not how it plays out with ICE.

Career DOJ prosecutors in both Minnesota and Los Angeles refused to be involved in charging Don Lemon and the other journalists who covered the Minneapolis church protests.
The prosecutors believe the evidence does not support the charges, per @carolleonnig.bsky.social.

A reason for Minnesotan officials and members of Congress to demand the same for Minneapolis.
"Secretary Noem has informed me that ICE has ended its enhanced activities in the State of Maine."
- Senator Susan Collins
“Attached to this order is an appendix that identifies 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases. … ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”
Note: Noem's DHS (via Tricia McLaughlin) is still publicly asserting the opposite about Pretti (citing federal law on assaulting, using force against agents).
