admittedly, i don't know anything about this case, but the person at the center of it seems to be Carlitos Ricardo Parias.
the intercept (source link) was rated far left by AllSides (https://www.allsides.com/news-source/intercept-media-bias) and the press release from justice.gov has a very different perspective (https://www.justice.gov/usao-cdca/pr/illegal-alien-mexico-ch...).
it's very unclear what can be taken at face value.
How do you guys in the US go about life as if this ain’t happening? Otherwise, what are you specifically doing against it? What even small acts of resistance are you ready to put in place? Genuinely curious, let’s hear it.
btw another crime by ICE that has not been widely covered is they are FORCE FEEDING PRISONERS FOR MONTHS
that is recognized as torture and illegal and should never be happening by our government

I'm convinced that the patterns of the federal judiciary freely supporting egregious misconduct by multiple agencies will last until roughly one week after the funeral of the current POTUS. Old age, complications, whatever, the pendulum will swing back.
The best case scenario for that swing-back is a prolonged and entirely civil witch hunt of the judges and attorneys involved, by force of intimidation by state governors threatening expulsion of federal personnel and nonpayment of funds to the Treasury unless a witch-hunting organisation is allowed to operate. This sounds horrible, but it is the option that most safely diffuses the tensions of implied violence. It's mirror, an entirely uncivil (force of arms) witch hunt, has historical precedents in other countries that suffered catastrophic civil wars and is the worst-case option.
Like it or not, every country has the pendulum and it can only be managed.
