This isn't about AI, it's about the window in which they have permission to remould society.

This is an astonishing, extreme, and horrifying argument.
Tunheim asks if DOJ's position is that on day 366 everyone without LPR status is subject to detention.
Mayers says DHS has that discretion even if not policy.
Asked if they would apply to those who voluntarily appear, Mayers says: "I don't think the statute would prohibit arrest and detention."
