Guilty until proven innocent
“Papers, please”
"Mom, I don't wanna go to school today"
"Stop being lazy"
"No mom, I don't want to get arrested by ICE"
Since the republicans passed laws allowing teachers to be armed in schools it would be such sweet karmatic justice if one them melts an ICE agent.
working as designed
Time to exercise the 2nd Ammendment
Then he'd just be dead.
Since when can ICE make traffic stops?
Since people started obeying them. If it's not a cop, you don't have to stop.
The Yankee Gestapo have been allowed to do what they want by The Fatboy Tangerine ...and by the us population.
Anyone can do anything. There are only consequences after the fact and only if the state agrees there should be.
Laws are just agreements not to do stuff
Since they are Trump's secret police.
It's a common theory that many of thr 1/6 rioters are now ICE members. So here is a list of the pardoned fucks. https://www.newsweek.com/full-list-january-6-prisoners-released-2018097

ICE has been directly and illegally ordered to violate the fourth amendment and are doing it every day.
Lawsuit time and this one is legit.
And he might get justice in ten years.
And?
This is PAYDAY. Open and shut slam dunk.
I wish my rights were this clearly violated.
It's payday... In ten years.
Assuming the laws don't change.
And assuming ICE doesn't kill him to stop the lawsuit.
Yes, the democracy is crumbling but at least some people will get paid.
Profiting from dictatorship must be the most American thing ever.
Honestly? I hope he gets his bread and pays for his family to go somewhere better.
What? 🤣
Agreed, this is a clear cut Constitutional violation. Should be worth millions.
"You look like someone I'm looking for" seems to be a recurring quote from these guys.
Imagine having this in your car on a card and when ICE asks for your ID you pull this out.
Man, tfw I'm an immigrant, but I'm pale as the fucking moon so I can't do this
"You fit the profile"
Next is Stop and Frisk nationwide followed by "Papers Please"

"Papers, please!"
No wait, they are not that polite...
"Papers!"
Wait, they didn't even lead with asking about his papers?
Damn...
"Submit to the skintone inspection!"
When they say that, you say, “Oh, you must be looking for the guy with the big dick. You found me.”
Can they legally ask if you aren’t suspected of a crime? Surely, driving to work is not a crime.
Bold of you to assume the law applies to them.
Bold of you to assume the Federal government still follows the law.
They said he looked like a suspect. Cough cough.
That’s not a reasonable suspicion of a crime.
Maybe being the guy that maybe did a crime isn’t good enough.
More to the point, being undocumented isn’t generally a crime- it’s a civil offense. The majority of people are either asylum seekers or people who’ve overstayed visas, rather than entering illegally.
Entering illegally is a misdemeanor, but over staying is not.

Quotas for DEI initiatives bad: no merit for chosen employees
Quotas for ICE good: no merit for those arrested in order to meet quota...
I know I know, you don't logic a Magoo. There is none to be had...
