in addition to all the obvious violations here, one law enforcement norm is that one does NOT put cuffs on somebody then take them back off (with exceptions granted for certain personal safety situations, which this was absolutely not)
Federal Agents Handcuff Chicago Alderperson At Hospital ER
A video of the Friday afternoon incident shows Fuentes at the hospital, asking federal agents if they had a signed warrant and telling the agents a man — who they had detained — has constitutional rights. Fuentes is not seen touching the agents, one of whom tells her he will arrest her if she does not leave.Fuentes again asks the agents if they have a warrant, and an agent grabs Fuentes, spins her around and handcuffs her hands.
“This is an alderperson who is being under arrest,” a person off-screen says in the video.
“This is a hospital. Do you have a signed judicial warrant for him?” Fuentes says to the agents.
“We told you to leave,” says the agent who handcuffed Fuentes. “Now you are under arrest for impeding.”
Fuentes was led outside the hospital and released. She was told that if she went back inside, she would be arrested, witnesses said.

The US medical profession’s long history of complicity with state violence has prepared it for compliance with Trump’s authoritarian orders.
When the government obstructs care, caregivers must go underground.
Allowing ICE to conduct raids in hospitals and medical clinics is not only cruel; it is a public health catastrophe in the making, writes Eric Reinhart.
What makes the guidelines issued by NYU Langone and NYC Health + Hospitals especially foreboding is that both memos directly contravene recent guidance.
When Hospitals Cave to Trump, Health Workers Must Disobey

They're getting a $50,000 sign-up payment, loan forgiveness,, AND "premium pay". Many of the armed security in many spots (esp. Florida, including my mother's community) are signing up and leaving their current jobs.
We're going to have a standing private army 2nd to none, including the (original) SS.
