I’m going to warn you: There’s a lot that ICE and the administration have gotten away with because of people claiming “No way. Their actions would be too ridiculous if that’s what it was. There must be more to it.”
What we knew already even before scarce details emerged:
Judges are extremely slow to take deliberate actions, to affirm their position as a fair arbiter that gives all sides chances to respond
ICE has scarcely ever provided sufficient evidence for many of their arrests, including most of the high-profile ones
The immigrants involved in this crime showed no indications of being violent or dangerous (even though ICE claimed they were)
So no, I don’t think ICE can be given benefit of doubt in this case. Every officer involved with this one can be arrested - and they can provide their argument when they go on trial.
