Got a question that maybe deserves a discussion. The police seems to be able to detain you for up to 48 hours in most states without charging you and can release you at any point up to then with seemingly little consequence unless it was a flagrant violation. The standard for stopping someone is reasonably articulable suspicion, IIRC, and I think that applies to immigration detentions.. I'm unsure when probable cause kicks in with immigration. I'm a little concerned because I read about US citizens detained and not let out in the 48 hour period. I'm concerned that the administration may not be too concerned about unlawful detention.
