The arrest of a US army veteran who protested against the Trump administrationās immigration crackdown has raised alarms among legal experts and fellow veterans familiar with his service in Afghanistan.
Bajun Mavalwalla II ā a former army sergeant who survived a roadside bomb blast on a special operations mission in Afghanistan ā was charged in July with āconspiracy to impede or injure officersā after joining a demonstration against federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) in Spokane, Washington.
Legal experts say the case marks an escalation in the administrationās attacks on first amendment rights. Afghanistan war veterans who know him say the case against Mavalwalla appears unjust.

Alarms exist to alert you when the dangers are not immediately obvious, or are somewhere else. The US is on fire both figuratively and literally and people are waiting for the alarms to go off before the even decide to start thinking about maybe doing something.
Emergency alarms famously turn off after five minutes.
Due process was officially over the line. Before that it was alarm but that was the match and hes just been heaping gasoline on it since.
