A recent Minnesota shooting involving ICE officers left protester Alex Pretti dead while he was being restrained. A new blog post from Cato Institute senior fellow Walter Olson details how ICE raids are violating the rights of American citizens, in part writing:

“In fact, US citizens who never realized they were at the scene of any confrontation have also faced long, humiliating, and uncomfortable detention simply for living in the wrong apartment building or working for the wrong employer. In recent weeks, with the masked federal paramilitary occupation of Minneapolis/​St. Paul, the apparent Fourth Amendment violations have multiplied rapidly, both in street stops of US citizens who have done nothing to arouse reasonable suspicion and in forced entry to homes, absent any warrant signed by a judge.”
