Rubio has discretionary authority within the law to decide if someone can be arrested and deported. This an obscure provision, but no way around it. Going after Rubio in public looked to be the only recourse I can see. The authority, a provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), reads: “An alien whose presence or activities in the United States the Secretary of State has reasonable ground to believe would have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States is deportable.”
In other words, the provision – section 237(a)(4)(C)(i) of the act – gives the secretary of state power to deport any person who is not a citizen or national of the US, if they meet the threshold for "reasonable ground” of belief that they may have “potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences” for the nation. Interestingly, the “quotas and ideological litmus test” of the INA, enacted in 1952, “were widely understood at the time to target Eastern European Jewish Holocaust survivors suspected of being Soviet agents,” the Jewish publication the Forward pointed out this week.
Bullshit. There will be hearings, even if they are not APA hearings. I've been at this for 50 years. At one time deportation hearings were APA "fair" hearings, but that ended in the Eisenhowert administration when Congress in its stupidity, determined otherwise. We even hold deporation, asylum hearings in foreign countries. -- arguably can be zoom hearings.
If he fails to obey, contempt and sanctions. In another venue, consensus said that Homan's reaction could end his career.

Under the Consitution, people who are accused have the right to a hearing. Even aliens.
Has Trump evidenced any intent to abide by the Constitution? I have seen none.
One can't rely upon the institutions, when the institutions don't hold and are ignored.

Rubio is a chained dog with a shock collar around his neck. Forget Secretary of State doing anything other than what his master commands.
His master is Norman Braman.
