What about when you’re an enemy combatant?
Based on your involvement with foreign agents in a conspiracy to assassinate a president?
What does that procedure look like?
“What about when you’re an enemy combatant?”
As we saw with Jose Padilla, if they are on US soil, they still have the full protection of the US legal system, like habeas corpus, right to counsel, right to trial by jury, etc. Hence the later use of renditions and foreign detentions to try and avoid all of those hassles.
The idea that several American citizens on American soil can secretly be declared enemy combatants, secretly be declared flight risks—or whatever criterion you prefer—and secretly fitted with secret ankle bracelets is simply not realistic. When you have to reach that far to believe a theory, it’s time to question the theory.
