What you describe is the principle of presumption of innocence. Shame it seems to be a lost concept in the land of the free nowadays.

I feel it goes a bit beyond that, because at this point it's also the presumption that those governments are operating recklessly and with knowing dishonestly.

This is why due process is so important, and why it's terrifying that it's being hand-waved away.
If you had a problem with Bush & Obama suspending habeas corpus, this should be setting off alarm bells for you if, for whatever reason, recent events haven't.
We must (socially) assume all arrests are US citizens by default, and it is up to the Florida/federal government to assert otherwise on an individual basis.
