Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.

Shut 'em down.
There's case after case now where you get quick charges, almost certainly demanded from political appointees. Discovery producers evidence that rules out guilt. Prosecutors usually aren't willing to hide that evidence. Charges dismissed.
