Watching #Vance 's press conference earlier, I have to say that if there were an award for the ability to twist words and facts around, he really should get it.
He should also get an award for his ability to gaslight. He's very good at that.

His ability to lie & leave out facts is also trophy-worthy— like he said that if ICE, DHS, etc. are looking for horrible criminals (like sex offenders), then the state & local government and law enforcement should help them.
➡️ The problem with that argument is that often no one proved they were sex offenders or other horrible criminals. People are being dragged out of vehicles & houses without due process.

And not only that, it is questionable whether federal immigration officers have probable cause to breach people's property detain people.
#ICE officers do not have warrants from judges. In fact, Vance said that they don't need to get those because they can have "administrative warrants."

Here I feel it it apropos to post a link to the US Constitution and highlight its 4th Amendment—
And a link from Cornell Law School in case you don't want to click the other (.gov) link
