Prof. Emmanuel Mauleón Interviewed on NPR’s Fresh Air About Whether ICE is Breaking the Law

Professor Emmanuel Mauleón was interviewed on NPR’s Fresh Air about whether ICE agents are breaking the law in Minnesota. To host Terry Gross’ first question about what he sees as Illegal actions, he responded, “So as a scholar that studies primarily policing, criminal procedure, the rights that we have secured against the government in that realm, I’m certainly very concerned about violations of the Fourth Amendment. That’s unreasonable searches and seizures, warrantless searches and seizures, certainly some Fifth Amendment due process violations of invocations of the right to silence, violations of Miranda. Certainly, we’ve seen in the last month or so violations of access to counsel, for example. All of these things are fundamental rights which ensure the fairness and justice, to the extent that they can, of people’s interactions with the criminal legal process and some civil legal processes. And to the extent that these are violated, it essentially robs individuals of the ability to have their fair day in court.“ Listen to the full interview.
