🚨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.
Rosie O’Donnell: “I want to thank Jimmy Kimmel for asking me and ABC for not cancelling me. Times are strange and companies get afraid because [Trump] sues everyone except for people who call him a pedo. Hasn’t sued any of them, I wonder why”
A highly qualified Black woman getting nominated to serve on the Supreme Court is "DEI" but a white woman becoming senator simply because her brother died while he was senator is "highly qualified"??????

BREAKING: Howard Lutnick tries to justify tariffs on Canada by absurdly claiming that Canada is hostile toward unions. 30% of Canadian workers belong to a union. Only 10% do in America. They either don’t know what they are talking about or they are lying.
Shapiro: When he sits behind the desk in the Oval Office, making $2.2 billion off his corruption for him and his kids, it costs you money. That money came out of somebody else’s pocket to go into his. When he sits behind that desk, he’s not thinking about how to put money in your pocket. He’s thinking about how to put money in his own pocket.
On 9/11, after US airspace closed, Canada launched Operation Yellow Ribbon. Gander, a town of 10,000, received 38 airliners. Residents sheltered, fed, clothed, and supported stranded passengers for days, providing this hospitality free of charge.

LMAO. Hunter Biden just destroyed Donald Trump.
“My dad at 81 years old secretly got on a military aircraft, went to Ukraine, took a train for 16 hours to Kyiv as the first President of the United States to go into an active war zone. Donald Trump fits his fat ass into a food cart truck and brings his work wife with him instead of the guy that carries the nuclear codes."
🚨 BREAKING: Barack Obama has been named the most admired U.S. president in history, according to a CNN/SSRS poll.
