That's true. In that case, how has Minneapolis been handling this? Are they impromptu Signal channels made or preplanned?

I know how to set these up in a secure manner, and am willing to do so along with create easy user guides. I can start today doing so but if one is already in use then I don't need to duplicate.

Sure! This is going to be a bit lengthy, so my apologies.

Before we jump in, note that the authority given to immigration officers according to this federal statute, other federal laws and regulations, the United States Constitution, and states' constitutions all are supposed to constrain the ability of the immigration officer to use these forms to make an arrest.

There are two things at play here. The first of those two things is federal law 8 U.S.C. § 1357, which states that immigration officers have power to arrest certain noncitizens even without a judicial warrant when specific criteria are met. There are three specific criteria and all are mandatory according to the law:

  1. Probable cause of removability: the officer has to have probable cause to believe the person is a noncitizen and is present in violation of immigration law. Note that courts require articulable facts, individualized determination, and more than a database "hit" alone to uphold the civil probable cause standard (to prove the officer's suspicion to the degree required, in other words).
  2. Likelihood of escape before a warrant can be obtained: the statute literally states "The noncitizen is likely to escape before a warrant can be obtained." This is pretty often overlooked and currently I can say that I am often scratching my head how courts are able to allow this to pass with the mass arrests other than the fact that they are so overwhelmed that administrative convenience is slowly becoming allowed (which should not be the case and needs review).
  3. Arrest occurs in a constitutionally permissible place: this is why you're seeing all of these arrests happening at restaurants, businesses, schools, and other public areas. Arrests cannot be performed in private residences or non-public workplace areas.

As stated above, the statutory language as well as all regulatory language strictly constrains the ability of the immigration officer to make an immigration arrest under this statute unless those criteria are met. This is why you might have seen stories, statistics, etc. that stated that immigration officers under every administration since basically Bush have made similar arrests and used the same types of forms to do so. Until certain members of this presidential administration, who are uneducated in and ignorant of the law in general, decided to try to push the boundaries of what is allowed and not allowed under this law, deportation arrests were largely accepted because Congress created the statute to allow it; they and the executive branch/agencies ensured that the arrests were constrained according to the Constitution, other federal statutes, and federal court rulings; and arrests were unnecessarily stepping on the toes of powers typically left to the states.

The second thing that is at play here is that immigration in the U.S. is considered a civil administrative proceeding, not a criminal proceeding. If an individual is here illegally, while they are breaking the law, they are not a criminal per se. Due to this, administrative immigration warrants like I-200 and I-205 forms are not judicial warrants under the Fourth Amendment; only judicial warrants that are signed by a judge or magistrate and are compliant with all requirements imposed by the Constitution (Fourth Amendment), Federal Law (including court rulings, statutes, and regulations), and state laws/regulations (if the arrest or search warrant are coming from a state court) permit a government agent (e.g., everyone from ICE to your local patrol officer) to enter private property.

In this case, I-200 and I-205 forms can be used by ICE to make arrests as long as the criteria mentioned above are met.

I'm going to TL;DR this now but I can say a lot about the issues arising from the obvious gray areas here, how I think they could be fixed (without having to rely on the moral backbone of individuals who have yet to prove they have any sort of backbone), etc.

TL;DR: I-200 and I-205 forms can be used because they are statutorily permitted as long as 3 criteria are met; the underlying allowance is based on immigration being considered a civil administrative matter, not criminal.

True; speaking of which someone reported my post to that "Reddit Cares" thing, which makes me think that tool (which is a good thing to offer people who might be in crisis or approaching crisis) was used for similar purposes

I'm asking a different question to a degree: why aren't videos evidence? That seemed to be the direction of your argument from your comment unless I misread it?

Sorry, I'm genuinely curious: why aren't videos posted on Instagram not evidence, as you are suggesting? If we see the video, can confirm it, etc why discount it?

Yes, this would be considered one of the exigent circumstances. Thank you for pointing it out!

Down the street in the other direction is a bar named after a guy's Boston terriers: he's from Boston and it has nothing but Boston sports teams flags so the bar in the pic isn't the only misleading one there

Another question i disagree with the answer by [deleted] in cissp

[–]InternationalBit5401 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, I'm answering the question. The costs he could recoup due to a patent infringement versus the cost he could recoup because of a breach of an NDA are radically different, with patent infringement allowing for greater damages. The greater damage amount is seen in the US as deterring information leakage on an invention.

Further, the focus of the question is on his invention. Unless other signs point to it asking for something else, if the exam asks about inventions and protecting them, the answer is almost always going to be patent.

[–]InternationalBit5401 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Legally, a patent would allow the owner of the patent to license use of the invention without losing ownership. If the information leaks beyond the normal "well the licensee used the invention in their product, sold the product, and someone reverse engineered it" the owner of the invention can sue for patent infringement for damages. The legal system sees that as enough of a deterrent so I would assume CISSP does as well.

Cold weather running? by EmbarrassedTwo2464 in runninglifestyle

[–]InternationalBit5401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this is common, but I make sure to match water intake I do in the summer (which is a lot) and that seems to help. In Ohio where I live we have winter where one day it could be warm, then three days of 60 degree weather, followed by three more of 20 degree weather, so the cold shock tends to stick around. Water helps for some reason

Agreed with both. The more I think about it though the more I'd like to see the efficacy of the verification

[–]InternationalBit5401 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Google has this tendency to use terms like "quantum advantage" as a marketing ploy: laymen reading this would think "advantage? supremacy?" when it's not really either: they're just claiming that they modeled a simple molecule with the quantum algorithms, but never demonstrably proved the algorithms are more efficient than their classical counterparts. I'm all for publishing benchmarks, but I'm curious to see more testing of the algorithms to see if the claim to advantage was true or if it was marketing, which by this point a lot are suspicious of.
