      He’s discussed how he did this to learn more about the process, and only because he’s in a position of privilege being a public figure which gives him some measure of protection.

      He has stressed that normal people should never talk to ICE or the police, except to clarify if they are being detained or to request a lawyer.

          I didnt meant to say that you should give them anything, just that you shouldnt expect to be granted the rights you might expect. They will absolutely just put you in a cell for days, weeks, months if you dont answer their questions. People should be prepared for that.

            Don’t expect it, demand it. Dissidents like Rumeya Ozturk have been freed after pursuing justice in the courts. What you say could happen but then it will be up t lo public pressure to force them to comply with the constitution and laws.

        In the absence of legal protections, there is still no benefit of talking to police, even in the face of torture. Thugs have already made the decision to hurt you by the time they pull you off the street, nothing you say will convince them otherwise, and everything you say will be twisted to justify their behavior.
