on the college's private property, a parking lot, without a warrant even though one was demanded.
While ICE has authority to detain individuals in public spaces, Augsburg is a private university where agents cannot enter or make arrests without a judicial warrant. The parking lot, though ungated, is likewise private university property.
It was done on private property, without a warrant, Pribbenow said. From our perspective, that is illegal.
Staff from Augsburgs Department of Public Safety and residence life responded and immediately requested a judicial warrant, Provost Paula OLoughlin wrote in a campuswide email Saturday evening.
Additional agents soon arrived, pointing weapons at the crowd and pushing witnesses back as students recorded the scene, she said. When a senior administrator again asked for a judicial warrant, agents refused, saying they did not have one.

OP
question everything
(51,559 posts)1. Do they still have to meet a quota of, what, 3,000 arrests a day?
DFW
(59,593 posts)2. An armed unit with guns drawn to abduct ONE student?
In an illegal (not that they care) kidnapping?
If the kidnapping victim is still in Minnesota, I hope Walz sends an equally well-armed group of State Police to free the victim from the kidnappers.

I'm sure there will be lots of talk, peacocking, fist shaking. Those with jurisdiction need to stop these fascists at gunpoint if need be and take them into custody to be tried for their crimes..
But they won't.
ANGH.
