"Patrick Cunningham, the agent who oversaw the arrest of Öztürk in March, told the court in Boston that he had consulted a Department of Homeland Security attorney to check that arresting her based on her visa being revoked was legal. Cunningham also said he had no knowledge of any criminal offense she had committed.

Öztürk, who was in ICE custody for two months, was released in May.

“When you receive information from headquarters at this level, top down, you make the assumption that it’s legally sufficient,” Cunningham, who is part of ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations arm in Boston, told the court. “But I did contact our legal counsel to ensure that we’re on solid legal ground.”

Öztürk’s attorney Mahsa Khanbabai said in an email to NBC News that the arrest has “never been about immigration enforcement.

Rather, it “has always been about retaliation and punishment on protected speech,” Khanbabai said. “We are confident the courts will continue to uphold the basic principles of a just and free society.”"

Let's see if they respect the rule of law.
I think that it's unlikely, as they are just jumped-up bounty hunter trash from the dregs of society.

WTF! After decades in the US, #Iranians arrested in #Trump’s deportation drive

"Mandonna 'Donna' Kashanian lived in the United States for 47 years, married a U.S. citizen and raised their daughter. She was gardening in the yard of her New Orleans home when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers handcuffed and took her away, her family said.

"Kashanian arrived in 1978 on a student visa and applied for asylum, fearing retaliation for her father’s support of the U.S.-backed shah. She lost her bid, but she was allowed to remain with her husband and child if she checked in regularly with immigration officials, her husband and daughter said. She complied, once checking in from South Carolina during #HurricaneKatrina. She is now being held at an immigration #DetentionCenter in #BasileLouisiana, while her family tries to get information.

"Other Iranians are also getting arrested by immigration authorities after decades in the United States. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security won’t say how many people they’ve arrested, but U.S. military strikes on Iran have fueled fears that there is more to come.

" 'Some level of vigilance, of course, makes sense, but what it seems like ICE has done is basically give out an order to round up as many Iranians as you can, whether or not they’re linked to any threat and then arrest them and deport them, which is very concerning,' said Ryan Costello, policy director of the National Iranian American Council, an advocacy group.

"#HomelandSecurity did not immediately reply to an email seeking comment on Kashanian’s case but have been touting arrests of Iranians. The department announced the arrests of at least 11 Iranians on immigration violations during the weekend of the U.S. missile strikes. U.S. Customs and Border Protection said, without elaborating, that it arrested seven Iranians at a Los Angeles-area address that 'has been repeatedly used to harbor illegal entrants linked to #terrorism.' "

AP News · Iranians who've been in the US for decades are being arrested in Trump deportation driveSome Iranians are getting arrested by immigration authorities after living decades in the United States. The Homeland Security Department hasn't released numbers but the National Iranian American Council, an advocacy group, says there has has been a surge of arrests. Mandonna “Donna” Kashanian lived in the United States for 47 years before being piked up by immigration officers this month in New Orleans. Like other Iranians, she has faced the possibility of being deported to Iran before, because of severed diplomatic relations with the U.S. Now the future appears more uncertain.

Behind the scenes, government lawyers struggled to make sense of how to proceed given their vague instructions. Over the next day, his account states, “it became clear to Mr. Reuveni” that the Departments of #State & #HomelandSecurity “were receiving contrary directions from someone else to take actions in violation of court orders.”

That answer, according to Reuveni’s account, was false. “Ensign had been present in the previous day’s meeting when #EmilBove stated clearly that one or more planes containing individuals subject to the #AEA would be taking off over the weekend no matter what,” the account states.

While Ensign represented the government in court, Reuveni listened by phone, sending updates to lawyers at the Departments of #State & #HomelandSecurity.
