They used fear to get the media, the law firms, the universities and the private sector to comply.
Fear of retribution.
Retaliation.
Revenge.

Now, it’s the judiciary’s turn.

The orange felon says he plans on running again for a third term and even possibly a 4th term, so if it’s okay for him to do this, so can President Obama.

To be fair, the administrative/judicial distinction is most relevant to PRIVATE areas. An ICE administrative warrant would in fact authorize ICE to arrest someone in a public space. ICE does not need a judicial warrant to do that.

Judicial warrants let agents bust down a door. ICE warrants don't.
This is crazy. ICE didn’t have event have a warrant to arrest the guy! The judge asked for it and they said “we have an administrative warrant” (not a real warrant).

She told them to kick rock and now the FBI is charging her with obstruction the arrest ‼️

So you see what is happening here. They are illegally accessing (and keeping? using?) PII data, firing federal employees, freezing funding, and God knows what else, and are simultaneously arguing in court that THE PUBLIC SHOULD NEVER FIND OUT ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND UNDER WHAT LEGAL AUTHORITY.
