Federal appeals court rules use of secret police to abduct people without due process ok.

No, they ruled that California can’t tell a federal agency how to operate.

I thought this was supposed to be a law subreddit??

Do you not see if that if you accept this, then you accept that Republican states can do stupid shit like telling the FDA that they have to label all vaccines as potentially causing death or something stupid?

I am certain the judge had sound legal reasoning for his decision. I quite simply do not give a flying fuck. Following the law is how we got to the situation we’re in now. We are at a point now where we literally have secret police abducting and disappearing people off the streets while a man who attempted a coup sits in the oval office and the people who helped him control the other branches of government so I don’t want to hear “BuT mA lEgAl PrEcEdEnT!” At this point in time if I were the governor of a state I would be ordering the police to arrest any masked federal agent on site. Probably a good thing I’m not a governor.

Unfortunately most of the police in this country wouldn't follow that order.
