How about kidnapping and false imprisonment, as in this case?

As I mentioned elsewhere, neither currently apply because due process of law was followed.
How can a deliberate blatant violation of the First Amendment be "due process of law"?
Look up the elements of false imprisonment.

When there's a warrant, even if wrongly granted, the arrest and imprisonment is considered lawful.

What does that have to do with the elements of false imprisonment?
"invoking the jurisdiction of a court to review the unlawful detention or imprisonment of an individual" would seem to indicate that such a detention can be deemed unlawful, yes?
