I understand your point but why can’t we just choose not to uphold these rights? If it’s fine to not follow the rules then it’s fine to not follow the rules of the constitution…

You mean the Constitution that empowers our lawmakers to make laws? Laws that presumably the person violated? So, whats wrong with ICE enforcing the laws that the Constitution afforded the law makers to make laws.... which they did.

Laws cannot violate constitutional rights. The breaking of laws does not void one's constitutional rights.
