They should quit acting like Hitlers henchmen. There are too many stories about warrantless detention, many resulting in violence, based on the most frivolous of charges. There seems to be little recourse as the miscreants disappear into to these holding centers for months at a time. Its heartening to see that some are released, however, most of the detainees languish as our government ignores their rights. This is no longer America, home of the free
Peace ☮️

The comments came during the Democrat's commencement speech at the University of Minnesota Law School graduation ceremony on Saturday, May 17, in which he referred to the Trump administration's rapid and controversial deportations, including of pro-Palestinian activists on college campuses and immigrants.
Donald Trumps modern-day Gestapo is scooping folks up off the streets, Walz said in his remarks......
Walz has been a frequent critic of Trump and did not hold back his disapproval during the commencement speech, focusing on what he says is the administration's repeated violation of the rule of law.
"This is what the crumbling of the rule of law looks like in real time," Walz said to the audience of law graduates. "And it's exactly what the founders of this nation feared − a tyrant abusing power to persecute scapegoats and enemies."
