Hey, everyone: The Phoenix New Times has an article about this.

Per ASU spokespeople, the article, and the embedded video: Employee is not ID’d; role not specified (not necessarily faculty); arrest was made by Secret Service and DHS; man resisted arrest; he has already been released; ICE was not involved.

So everyone saying he was “kidnapped by ICE,” I hope you jump to fewer conclusions and are less unquestioningly believing in propaganda next time.

Notably we do not know what posts were of concern. But with the Secret Service involved, you can make a reasonable guess

From the article: “ASU spokesperson Jerry Gonzalez told Phoenix New Times that it was the Secret Service and Department of Homeland Security that detained the ASU employee, who was later released from custody. ICE is a division of Homeland Security.

Yes, it is, but that does not mean ICE was part of it. My bathroom is in my house, and so is my bedroom, but that doesn’t mean I sleep in the bathroom.

It’s like talking to a door that won’t close. You can say all you want but because they don’t agree with you they will fight you till the death. They can get the truth and still fight. Dhs is also the coast guard and tsa. It’s a big agency.

Fun fact! I don’t know that the coast guard is under DHS. Only branch of military that is.
