The #judiciary is doing its damndest to counter the #tyranny [not counting #SCOTUS]

A federal judge in #Minnesota Thursday ordered the release of a Liberian man 4 days after heavily armed #immigration agents broke into his home using a #BatteringRam & arrested him.

US Dist Judge Jeffrey Bryan said in his ruling that the agents violated Garrison Gibson’s #FourthAmendment rights against unlawful search & seizure.

“To arrest him, Respondents forcibly entered Garrison G.’s home without his #consent & without a judicial #warrant,” he said.

Marc Prokosch, Gibson’s attorney, said he was “thrilled” by the judge’s order. He had filed a #HabeasCorpus petition, used by courts to determine if an #imprisonment is legal, & called the arrest a “blatant constitutional violation” since the agents did not have a proper warrant.

Gibson’s wife was inside their #Minneapolis home with the couple’s 9-year-old #child during the raid. Prokosch said she was deeply shaken by the “arrest” [home invasion & #abduction].

Gibson, 37, was being held at an #immigration #detention center in Albert Lea after being held at a large camp on the Fort Bliss Army base in El Paso, #Texas, according to ICE’s detainee locator.

Gibson, who fled the Liberian civil war as a child, had been ordered removed from the US, apparently because of a 2008 drug conviction that was later DISMISSED by the courts. He remained in the country #legally under an order of supervision, with the requirement that he meet regularly with #immigration authorities.

Only days before his arrest, Gibson checked in with authorities at regional immigration offices—the same building where agents have been staging “enforcement” raids in recent weeks.

Reichsfuehrer SS Stephen Miller's trains will run full, no matter who his goons need to sweep up to do it.

Bryan said in his Thursday order that he agrees with Gibson’s assertions that since he had already been released on an order of supervision, officials “violated applicable regulations” by not giving him enough notice that it had been revoked & the reasoning, as well as not providing him an interview right after he was detained.

Tricia McLaughlin, propagandist for DHS, had claimed [lied] that Gibson has “a lengthy rap sheet (that) includes robbery, drug possession with intent to sell, possession of a deadly weapon, malicious destruction & theft.” She did not indicate if those were arrests, charges or convictions.

Actual court records indicate Gibson’s legal history shows only the 1 felony in 2008, along with a few traffic violations, minor drug arrests & an arrest for riding public transportation w/o paying the fare.
