Again, police don’t need a warrant with probable cause.
> he's being denied his right to an attorney
Source? His attorney is quoted in the article.
> refusing to tell his representation where he is even at
Source? The article states he’s at “an immigration detention facility in Elizabeth, New Jersey.”
There are obvious First Amendment and free speech issues with this arrest. Those get diluted if folks start making things up about the severity of the situation.
Thank you. This is concerning. I’ll keep an eye out for a statement from the lawyer. It may be that nobody is telling the press while the internet runs with the meme.
Yes you do. You can not just barge into someones home and perform an illegal search + arrest without extreme probable cause.. And nothing they say would rise to that level of arresting someone solely on probable cause because there's no clear imminent threat of violence. They were not able to produce a warrant.

It takes all of five minutes to get the latest update. His attorney does not know where he's being held and no one is allowed to visit him.

Search and arrest, yes. If police see probable cause to arrest from the street, they can arrest.
> because there's no clear imminent threat of violence*
Violence is unnecessary. If you’re caught shoplifting, the cop can arrest you without a warrant even if you weren’t violent.

The tweet is from 9 hours ago. (Who is the source?)
The article is newer. We know where he is.
Okay then tell me: Where is he being held? Here's a quote from his attorney:
> "Currently, we do not know Mahmoud’s precise whereabouts. Initially, we were informed this morning that he had been transferred to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, New Jersey," Greer added.
> "However, when his wife – a U.S. citizen who is eight months’ pregnant and was threatened with arrest as well by the ICE agents last night – tried to visit him there today, she was told he is not detained there."
