I'm not saying we should round up suspects without cause.

I'm saying it happens every day in this country regardless of the current situation. Apparently, some people are just learning this.

True, it does. And it shouldn't, and we shouldn't accept it. We have others on this thread saying it should if the person is a suspected terrorist. I don't think it should for ANY suspicion. I remember the early '90s (this still happens today, but it's lessened) when you could tell the authorities that someone is a child molester with no proof or any form of evidence at all and their life was instantly ruined because the assumption of both the authorities and society was that anyone accused of molestation must be guilty. With the kinds of things being suggested in this and other threads "terrorist" will be the new word you can use to instantly destroy someone, just call 88-crime and leave a "tip" then watch them get carted away. This is not acceptable.
