It's been wrong since at least 1979.
Let that sink in.
The person in charge of this newly beefed up, paramilitary federal police force DOES NOT KNOW WHAT AN ARREST IS.
That means he doesn’t know when he or his officers are committing one... illegally.

In violation of the Fourth Amendment.

Like they unquestionably did here.
Look, you can’t possibly conduct arrests lawfully if you don’t know your conducting them in the first place.
And if the Deputy Director of this new federal force will say on national TV that what these officers did was legal because "this wasn't an arrest," that raises serious concerns about what his officers are doing out on the street. When the cameras are on, and when they’re not.
That's it.
