President Donald Trumps border czar Tom Homan went viral on Friday after practically boasting on TV about all the ways ICE agents and Border Patrol agents can go after suspected illegal immigrants.
Homan was being interviewed on Fox News about a potential ruling from a federal judge in Los Angeles over whether the Trump administration could be ordered to pause its ICE raids on immigrants.
He responded by claiming that immigration law enforcers dont actually need probable cause to detain a possible suspect, despite it being a key part of the Constitutions Fourth Amendment.
People need to understand, ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] officers and Border Patrol dont need probable cause to walk up to somebody, briefly detain them, and question them, Homan said. They just go through the observations, get articulable facts based on their location, their occupation, their physical appearance, their actions.
Homan also insisted that if his agents briefly detained someone, its not probable cause. Its reasonable suspicion.

If I said what I really wish would happen to Reinhard Heydrich Homan, I'd probably get arrested myself.
