Here's Greg Bovino lying and saying the US citizen arrested by unidentified ICE agents in MN should have been carrying "immigrantion documents per the INA", which is FALSE.
The INA (Immigration and Nationality Act) does NOT require U.S. citizens to carry proof of citizenship.

I'm searching Getty Images and found some photos credited to the Boston Herald that redact the faces of ICE/federal agents. They don't redact the face of the guy they're arresting.
I'm curious about the ethics of doing this. I don't think I've ever seen this on Getty before.

Judge Xinis ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s release in part bc ICE could not produce a final “order of removal” to deport him. So last night, they went out and got an immigration judge to issue one.
Now, Abrego is urging Xinis to block his redetention. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I do agree with this point from Greg, something I wrote about over the spring — www.lawdork.com/p/trump-told... — and that has become all the more clear since. It should be noted, however, that aspects of this plan — particularly as to third-country removal — have largely been successful
There's ample evidence that Trump/Miller saw Abrego Garcia as a test for the broader MAGA project. Miller hopes to carve out power for Trump to remove people with zero legal constraints. JD Vance's dishonesty has been reprehensible. It all now looks even worse. 4/
