Frank Figluzzi, retired FBI, just warned the DHS agents [View all]

that there will be a legal reckoning for each of them personally for taking people off the streets without probable cause, not taking them to a federal detention center, not charging them. He told them they are outside the mandate for their jobs, and they better get their professional liability insurance paid up.
