People seem to be forgetting some abysmal precedents from War on Terror.
Yes, they did detain Green Card holders.
Yes, they did get an insane SCOTUS ruling (under Obama, not Bush) that material support for terrorism can include speech (Holder v. HLP).

Did the White House order this individual’s arrest?
Update: DHS — whose officers conducted this detention — did not answer questions. It instead directed us to the White House.
NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment.
Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too.
His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

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.

“A party of small government, liberty, and freedom” cannot believe the government has the right to arrest you and then deport you for saying the wrong thing.
That’s a party of terrifyingly big government, ready to abuse its power.
They want small government *benefits* - and no actual freedom.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.
re the previous repost: if they can disappear permanent residents they can disappear citizens

This sounds like a bad movie it's so hard to believe but does seem to actually, possibly be happening that that core US government private information on US citizens and businesses and confidential govt operations is being carted off by unvetted malevolent possibly foreign actors
4/ who they are, whether they’re even American citizens. They all seem to be Thiel and Musk protégés. And I’ve had multiple references to their refusing to identify themselves by anything but first name. The rationale given is that they could be doxed.

I don't get the sense that U.S. journalists have a good sense of who to talk to when basic government functions are being ripped out. Gutting the administrative state is not a standard beat. A short thread with some starter suggestions for who to read/talk to. Please - people add more in replies!
