No big deal. Interpol is more or less just an information clearing house on
international crimes. I haven't found signs of them actually having agents or
officers with arrest powers.
Interpol's website and here is a
description on
Wikapedia.

Why would we elevate an international police force
above American law? Why would we immunize an international police force from the
limitations that constrain the FBI and other American law-enforcement agencies?
Why is it suddenly necessary to have, within the Justice Department, a
repository for stashing government files which, therefore, will be beyond the
ability of Congress, American law-enforcement, the media, and the American
people to scrutinize?
The above comments and questions seem more than valid and certainly reasonable.
In pondering this a possible scenario began to dawn on me that is chillingly
plausible and possible under the guidelines Interpol is now working under within
our own borders.
Say the US govt. is seeking a case against a citizen but is stymied by the
constraints of our legal system regarding search and seizure boundaries, so,
they turn it over to Interpol who then is unbound by our laws and worse yet an
arrested individual basically would have very limited redress within our legal
system as Interpol would not be required to reveal any documentation they simply
chose not to be forthcoming with making it nearly impossible to even prepare a
defense before the charges, witnesses and such were revealed in open court.
Any time normal legal processes are circumvented it ALWAYS is for a reason
contrary to the boundaries of the law itself. Secondly, such circumventions will
ALWAYS be abused many times before they eventually get tested by a higher court
meaning people will always have their rights abused before such things get
reigned in.
But, the real bottom line is why should ANY outside branch of law enforcement be
given unsupervised impunity to act on anything within our borders and then not
even be required to prove their investigations were valid, nor allow disclosure
of the facts of their investigations

Just another way Odamna is trying to destroy our country. He will continue
until he succeeds and America will disappear or he disappears.
