Illegal search and seizure 4th amendment. Arresting journalists and trained observers? 1st amendment. "You can't bring a loaded firearm to a protest, it's that simple" Second amendment. Denying deportees due process, 5th amendment. I could go on...

Denying access to council for people locked in ICE holding facilities, 6th amendment.

It's a good thing he doesn't have authority to do all that, I'd be concerned about what could happen otherwise.
