🚨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.
@mark_slapinski That’s what’s so disgusting about Maga: there is irrefutable prove of him being a rapist and they still create excuses for him. Same is going to happen when he is proven to have raped underage girls. Magas are in too deep now to go back.
If my buddy got accused of rape I would hear his side of the story. If my buddy got accused of rape by 29 women bragged about grabbing pussy to me and had a long history with Jeffrey Epstein I would have called the police on him 10 years ago
The Dodgers have announced they will go to the White House on July 23 and meet with the man who this week was ordered by a judge to pay this woman $5.8 million for raping her in a department store changing room.
Graham Platner was accused of rape so he stepped down.
Donald Trump was accused of rape 40 times, including from children, and did not step down.
Our parties are not the same
Graham Platner was accused of sexual assault and nearly every Democrat I know demanded he end his candidacy.
Donald Trump has to pay $5 million to a woman he was found LIABLE of sexually abusing, and not a single Republican is calling for him to end his presidency.
Not one.
