Read US v. Abdi, 05-4199

In a prosecution of a defendant on terrorism-related charges involving an alleged plot to bomb a shopping mall, suppression of statements made by defendant and certain derivative evidence is reversed as: 1) suppression is not an appropriate remedy for violation of the administrative warrant requirement of 8 U.S.C. section 1357(a)(2); and 2) defendant's Fourth Amendment rights were not violated by his public warrantless arrest based on probable cause.
