    They actually can arrest anyone because they are immigration and customs enforcement. They are still law enforcement, so they can enforce any law. If you import something illegal or try to smuggle drugs into that is one agency that can investigate you. They arrest people for things like importing fake luxury items.

      They still need a motherfucking warrant or probable cause!!!

      What possible probable cause could they have against a political candidate who’s not crossing a border? Fuck-all, that’s what!

        They’re holding 63 people in Omaha right now without any charge. Maybe you saw that habeas corpus thing in the news recently. One of the MAGA Barbies got it wrong and the articles indicated that was funny.
