This is the govt. willfully violating legally guaranteed rights with impunity, in furtherance of a xenophobic authoritarian agenda. I can see how this might give creepy armchair fascists tiny little fash boners, but it's difficult to deny that such violations are simply wrong, and should be unacceptable in a modern society that values the rule of law.

These are bureaucrats clearly not following the law and innovating their own interpretation of it.

And then left-wingers try and lionize other bureaucrats and try to throw more power to them.

They're not innovating; they're heeding the signals sent to them by your elected leaders, and by a third of your electorate.
