> ICE maintains that a confidential informant told the agency the man was a member of MS-13

Well this is horrifying.

Indeed. If only there was some sort of process where there would be fact finding and ultimately be put beyond all reasonable doubt whether a claim like this is true before sending someone off to prison. Even better, there ought to be a constitution or maybe even universal declaration guaranteeing such a process.

The same kind of informants who identified the prisoners for Guantanamo.

There are growing numbers of informants, admittedly though these are off-current-topic:

Canary Mission: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/rumeysa-ozturk-tufts...

Betar US: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/3/25/what-is-betar-us-th...

It's a low bar, just so long as you're informing on a group that's not in lock-step with Trump's agenda.

The “foreign agent” card.

Canary and Betar need to be held socially and legally responsible for the harms they are causing. And if they do have links to Israeli intelligence, they should be criminally tried for espionage and violating FARA.
