From what I heard there were a lot more problems with the indictment than the illegal appointment. Just for starters, the indictment signed by the jury foreperson was never actually shown to the grand jury or voted on in the form it was signed. Which would mean the indictment was never actually valid. Also, there’s strong evidence that they illegally used privileged information in the grand jury hearing.

This is what you get when you appoint someone who is not qualified for the job.

I don’t disagree with your viewpoint, but I’m not in support of what ICE is doing at all. There are MILLIONS of people in this country who steadfastly believe that anyone arrested by ICE is an illegal alien and, yes, many of them also believe that any force used against such people is justified. Arguing with them from a humanitarian standpoint gets you nowhere. Pointing at stories like this, where they will clearly snatch up anyone on the street they think looks like they don’t belong here is at least some ammunition to engage those peoples’ cognitive dissonance.

Because it highlights the fact that they are stopping and detaining people based on illegal racial profiling. The officers involved literally don’t care about legal status.

Great for you. But we’re not in ancient Greece. Try looking at modern history and the literacy tests that were used to prevent African Americans from voting. Whoever gets to decide what a suitable test for voting rights is gets to decide who can and can’t vote. That’s too much power for anyone to be allowed to weild responsibly.

We don’t test people to see if they are eligible to vote. That never ends the way you think it will.

This was going to be my first question. Does that mean these professions are no longer exempt from overtime rules? Because I’m pretty sure this contradicts how congress defined professional roles.
