See O&#8217;Rourke, 378 F.3d at 1206. To rule otherwise on this record would raise real concerns about the continued unlawful detention of U.S. citizens based on legally inapplicable, groundless immigration hunches unsupported by even arguable probable cause. Mills&#8217;s actions and inactions constituted a violation of Alcocer&#8217;s clearly established Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable seizure.
