Haha, well I hope these gymnastics aren't actually fooling you, of all people. That'd be a major concern.
You can rest easy knowing they're not fooling anyone else though.
Just a few points of note:
* You mention Trump wanted the activist deported, and they were arrested in the street, but they apparently WERE NOT also detained or hunted? How did they find an activist based on an order from on high, if not by hunting them? How could they possibly deport someone without detaining them first?
* You describe this person as an activist, and federal officials have described the enforcement action as based on her activism. You can go ahead and read the 1st Amendment if you need a refresher, but "activism", and certainly signing an op ed, is protected speech, thus proving my original point.
* With regard to what substantiates the judge's opinion, you can go read the court filings, duh. Do you need page numbers for this one too?
* "She's approached on the sidewalk and, in the AP's words, "detained"." LMAO. I love the scare quotes ;)
* Re 4A/warrants/arrests, etc. Arrests can be made in lieu of warrants only in exigent circumstances (which approximately no immigration stop qualifies as), and they can never be made in lieu of probable cause. A person can be stopped under only reasonable suspicion, but again this is not what DHS said. DHS said they are arresting people based on reasonable suspicion. This is unambiguously unconstitutional. I think your motivated reasoning might be affecting your reading comprehension on this point.
