New Video of Mahmoud Khalil’s Arrest Shows Trump Admin is Lying in Court
The new footage of ICE’s warrantless arrest shows the Palestinian student fully cooperated with federal agents and was not a flight risk, as the government continues to falsely claim.
You're viewing a single thread.
But the Trump-Vance administration admitted last month that there was no warrant, claiming it didn’t need one to arrest the Columbia pro-Palestine and anti-war protest leader because “it was likely he would escape before they could obtain a warrant.”
That is not how warrants work, that's not how anything works.
Lawyei involved in this should be disbarred. If you make arguments that blatantly ignore US law then you have no business being a lawyer. If you lie for your client in court, disbar that shit.
Agreed - if the powers that be aren't going to hold the president to account at least we need to insist they hold his minions to account.
The problem is, unless it's state charges Trump has control of the people who could hold them to account. And he could just pardon them even if they were convicted of something.
Well Trump can't do much if they are disbarred and can't be a lawyer anymore. Keep disbarring them and take away their livelihood amd it would give pause to those still under his power and most likely keep the lawyers from lying in court.
True, non-criminal punishments such as disbarring would be doable. But they still won't do even that.
Totally true, though state crimes are not pardonable so maybe the focus should be there.
I meant even if they were convicted on federal charges.
