"Let me say this clearly: nobody in this country is safe.
....
What happened in Chicago wasn’t a targeted operation against specific individuals for whom probable cause had been established. It was a general sweep. Everyone detained. Everyone held. Everyone’s liberty suspended until federal agents decided whether you were interesting enough to arrest.
This is exactly—exactly—what the Fourth Amendment was written to prevent.
And America yawned."

@joriki@infosec.exchange And... DHS isn't even pretending they're not doing this. Not that their denial or pretensions would mean anything.

In its statement addressing the raid, DHS noted it was still gathering information about those arrested “due to the size” of the operation and will provide more information.
They... don't even know things about the people they arrested. They don't even pretend they had warrants for specific people, or knew who they were looking for. They were just looking for people they could brutalize.
