Damn, clearly must be for ideological crimes against the regime and not the hundreds of other actual crimes he might have committed. Rather than waiting a day or two for the actual charges to be published to the public, let's assume the former because orange man bad.

Trump and his staff are indeed bad (obviously), so it is safe to assume the worst, and possibly be pleasantly surprised if/when it's shown to be a legitimate arrest.

The FBI got a warrant to search his house. That's not immigration-related.

Why would you make an assumption in this case with no evidence or data? Are you saying the majority of FBI arrests are now driven by politics? Would you be surprised to learn that there have been similar foreign national arrests under previous administrations?
