🚨BREAKING: An ICE/Border Patrol agent approached a U.S. citizen at a gas station, in Lake Worth, Florida, demanded his ID, and when the U.S. citizen asked why? …
The agent’s said, “Because you’re an immigrant.”
Except that is not how the Constitution works.
In the video, the U.S. citizen is standing at a gas station when an agent walks up and says, “Let me see your ID.”
The man asks a completely reasonable question, “Why?”
The agent responds, “Because you’re an immigrant.”
And before the man has even been identified, the agents grab his hands and puts him in handcuffs.
People standing around immediately start questioning what is happening…asking the agents how they can arrest someone when they haven’t even identified who he is…
But the agents ignore them and walk the man to their vehicle.
The Fourth Amendment protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures. The Supreme Court has held that roving Border Patrol agents need reasonable suspicion, based on specific circumstances, to stop someone and question them about immigration status. And apparent ethnicity, by itself, is not enough.
So, what was the actual legal basis for demanding this man show his ID?
Because if the answer is literally… “because you’re an immigrant,” that should piss off every American.
You should not have to prove you’re a U.S. citizen before the government decides it has the right to put you in handcuffs.
And this is just another reminder that constitutional rights don’t mean anything if federal agents can violate them, over and over again, with no accountability.
WHEN YOU REALIZE THE BABY BOOM WASN'T JUST SOLDIERS COMING HOME HORNY.
It was soldiers coming home to the GI Bill free college, 0% down home loans, low-interest business loans.
It was strong unions. Pensions. A house that cost 2 years of salary.
It was confidence that the future was actually going to be better than the present.
That's what produced a baby boom. Not romance. Security.
You want a higher birth rate now?
Give people a future where they know their kids will actually be okay.
That's the whole formula. It's not complicated. It's just expensive, and nobody in charge wants to pay for it twice.
Watters: She's running on hate. And you got to run on love, Jessica. And the voters can tell. You can want to change America, but you have to do it and come from a place of love.
Jessica: Like a Muslim ban, a place of love.
Will Ferrell's "Old Prospector" sketch on SNL was taped during dress rehearsal but didn't make to air because the cast kept laughing so much it made the sketch run way too long for the live show. Watch Chris Kattan especially barely keep it together 😂
The Chief Rabbi of the State of Israel, Rabbi David Yosef said today that the Palestinian people do not exist, do not have rights, that it is good that Gaza was destroyed and that with the help of God, all of Gaza and the West Bank will be Jewish soon. The Jewish religion is being used as a tool of genocide. This is not a fringe rabbi. This is the most important rabbi in Israel.
Ed O'Neill reveals the exact day Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, he was cut by the Steelers, got blackout drunk with strangers in a dive bar, and was pulled over half naked by police at 3 AM
"I went in the bar, it was like 2:00 in the afternoon and there were a couple of locals. I order a beer, they got the TV up high on the wall, and the news comes on showing Armstrong walking on the moon. That's when I got cut. And I'm thinking, 'Well, somebody had a good day.'"
"Then they went to sports, and of course it's Pittsburgh so they go, 'Linebacker Ed O'Neill released today from the Steelers,' and that's my picture. These guys in the bar look and they go, 'You're Ed O'Neill!' And they said, 'Your money's no good here.' Now they're all buying me drinks."
"I end up at 3:00 in the morning in some car with some girl with a state trooper pulling me over. I don't even know my name at this point. I think I had my shirt off, almost naked, and I'm driving."
"He looks at my driver's license and says, 'Did you get cut today from Pittsburgh?' I said, 'Yep.' He said, 'Miss, can you drive?' She said, 'Yeah, I'll take him.' And he let me go, because in Pittsburgh, they love them Steelers. Even if you got cut, you're still part of the team."
“They killed 20,000 children and you gave Israel money. They stabbed the children of Gaza and you gave Israel money. You've disgraced New Zealand...”
A brave activist confronts New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon in Christchurch over his support for Israel.
How f*cking dumb does ICE have to be to try to enter a foreign consulate?
ICE agents apparently needed a consular staffer to explain the Vienna Convention to them at the door.
If ICE agents do not understand that they cannot just barge into a foreign consulate without permission, maybe they should start using https://t.co/du9bv2U4pY too. It explains the basics: warrants, consent, protected spaces, rights, documentation, and what government agents are not allowed to do.
https://t.co/du9bv2U4pY is free for immigrants, citizens, witnesses, and apparently anyone in uniform who missed the lesson on “you can’t trigger an international incident because you saw a brown person.”
Help keep it free: https://t.co/Hi5Yo2N2N2
