Lots of noise on this thread, even some who know and may practice law seem to miss the issue of jurisdiction.
Protesting is legal. If a protester violates a law they are subject to arrest. Arestees are guaranteed specific rights which cannot be abused under the color of authority.
All the bloviation aside the sheriff may notify federal authorities in the event a protester has violated a law and is determined to be in the U.S. illegally. That's it.
A complaint or information must be filed by the prosecutor within 72 hours of the arrest and reasonable bail set. Notwithstanding the actions of the Bush Administration this remains the United States of America:
"Habeas Corpus is an ancient common law prerogative writ - a legal procedure to which you have an undeniable right. It is an extraordinary remedy at law. Upon proper application, or even on naked knowledge alone, a court is empowered, and is duty bound, to issue the Extraordinary Writ of Habeas Corpus commanding one who is restraining liberty to forthwith produce before the court the person who is in custody and to show cause why the liberty of that person is being restrained. Absent a sufficient showing for a proper restraint of liberty, the court is duty bound to order the restraint eliminated and the person discharged. Habeas Corpus is fundamental to American and all other English common law derivative systems of jurisprudence. It is the ultimate lawful and peaceable remedy for adjudicating the providence of libertys restraint."
Funny how the RW hopes to see "busted heads" on this thread but demand liberty for themselves on others. Never underestimate the stupidity of the RWers, what can be done to others can be done to them, an observation they are too stupid to understand.
That is like defending a man's right to jump off a building then defending the man's family's right to sue the building's owner for not stopping him when he jumped.
It called "Mexican logic"!
Evidence provided by bullfighter as to why one must never underestimate the stupidity of RWers. Thanks Bullfighter.
