I’m not a constitutional scholar. But it seems to me that if federal agents go into a public park and start randomly detaining people it violates the Fourth Amendment’s stricture against “unreasonable searches and seizures.” This happened in McArthur Park in LA over July 4th weekend.
Asking American Citizens to prove they are an American Citizen sounds a little bit fascist. Hopefully this will be sorted out by the courts. Rounding up the undocumented is a bad application of bad law.
