So the Trump admin suddenly yanked visas from thousands of international students—then backtracked only after getting dragged into court.
Let’s be clear: they didn’t do the right thing. They got caught doing the wrong thing.

There’s no Alien Enemies Act exception to the Fourth Amendment.
The Justice Dept. has authorized law enforcement officers to GO INTO PEOPLE'S HOMES WITHOUT SEARCH WARRANTS if they suspect that someone is an "alien enemy"

Pam Bondi, a nitwit, has not thought this through to the day when she's on trial for the laws she's breaking now and she faces... judges
Bondi declares war on the courts: "What has happened to our judiciary is beyond me ... they are deranged ... we are sending a very strong message today ... we will come after you and we will prosecute you. We will find you."

Astonishing.
Read ICE official's affidavit. ICE had the detainees in their custody before turning them over to DOD for transfer to torture in El Salvador. AFTER court issued TRO.
