Where was he born? What is his name? Who is his mother? Who is his father?
“I told them, they are dead,” Cruz said. The agents said they needed the information anyway so they could look him up in their databases. Eventually, the agents verified that he is, in fact, legally in the country. And they let him go.
But not before writing him a $130 ticket for not having his papers. Cruz’s friend, who is homeless, did not have legal status and was taken away by the feds.

And if he had his papers, they would have said they were fake, confiscated them, and hassled him anyway:

Which is why we have the 4th amendment.
Edit: dumpster fire beyond this point. I am employing a zero tolerance blocking policy for non-sequitur doomer bullshit. It doesn't create a conversation, it just capitulates to fascism. I've got no room for you in my online spaces.

Oh cute, you think The Constitution still matters to those in power

I think it's pretty clear that many in power don't believe the constitution applies to them. That's not doomerism, because my answer isn't "therefore we must give up."

Oh cool, guess we abandon law then.
It is doomerism. It's non-sequitur bullshit.

My response isn't "abandon law" either.

My bad. This thread has me feeling like I'm taking crazy pills.
Sick of the insane amount of doomer bullshit o Lemmy.

The 4th has been nullified by the Supreme Court. Look up the case Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo.

Laws only work if they are upheld. Burying your head in the sand and pretending like this shit isn't happening won't fix it.

It makes me sick to think about how these people who slip through and talk to the press are just the tip of the iceberg. How many people have just disappeared without a trace? Are they in concentration camps, labor camps, death camps? I don't know if we'll ever have a complete picture of what's happening, but what we already know is heartbreaking. Fuck this.

When you were young in the USA, how many times did they hammer home the message "America is the land of the free. You will never be asked to show your papers here. Thats the difference between us and them." ? Clearly not the "greatness" the GOP has in mind.

The GOP stands for one thing Guardians Of Pedos.
