That’s nice and all. But why focus on US citizens? Last I checked, the protections in the US constitution applied to anyone in the US, not just citizens

That’s the thing. The argument the Trump administration is making is that the protections of the Constitution don’t apply to non citizens.

They are literally arguing exactly that in court, up to and including the Supreme Court.

So, If You are a tourist in the USA, don’t expect the same level of protection of a local.

That’s their argument. They’re saying that the laws that prevent a tourist from say, robbing a bank, still apply. But the laws that prevent the police from doing terrible things don’t apply.

It’s one of the more glaring examples of “bound by the law, but not protected by the law”.

I can imagine some level of confusion next year as the US will host the World Cup with México and Canadå.

If in the first six months of this year alone we have seen cases of tourists being wrongfully detained and immigrants with legal status being deported, imagine the “invasion” of football fans from all over the world.

That makes it even more important for military personnel to refuse unlawful orders when it comes to the treatment of non-citizens.

I presume it will be a situation like Germany with the 1936 Olympics. The SS (oops, ICE) will be told to pause and put on a happy face for the duration. Then they’ll return to their former activities with gusto at the conclusion of the event.

“Invasion” has turned from political agitprop into legal pretext.

This thread on people carrying out authoritarian orders could be expanded now to forces beyond ICE. One question has been whether they’ll follow orders as enthusiastically as ICE has. So far, they’re often being treated in ways that discourage that. :crossed_fingers:
