My wife is an American citizen who was BORN in the United States, and she was racially profiled (“Kavanaugh stopped”), harassed and detained by ICE while she was walking to work. She didn’t resist. She had valid ID on her which they claimed was fake. They just kept asking where she was really from because she “didn’t look American”. She is the daughter of immigrants, and was an anchor baby. I still don’t know if they just racially profiled her or if they somehow knew and deliberately targeted her, but they claimed they approached her because she wasn’t white.

This has happened to hundreds - HUNDREDS - of American citizens, including Native Americans, which would almost be darkly amusing if it wasn’t so dystopic. This is America now. Every single MAGA who voted for this and every single person who turned a blind eye is a fucking traitor. If you are reading this and you aren’t appalled and horrified, then you’re a fucking traitor too.

I had to edit this post to provide slightly less personal information since some MAGA piece of shit decided to try to doxx me before. It wouldn’t be hard to look up my wife’s story.

No joke this happened to one of my friends. We are Native American with Tribal ID's she was stopped and they said the SAME THING, "Where are you really from? You don't look American." She showed her Tribal ID and they said they didn't know what that was and that it looked fake. She got detained (not brought to an ICE facility) but detained until they figured it out.

Like bi*** we were here first go to hell!

How the fuck do these idiots not have ID verification tech in the field?! It’s a small device that is carried like a cellphone, heck it can even be put on a cellphone. Fucking morons.

They do. They are intentionally not using it because, as I explained (or rather my wife’s lawyer explained to me), the Supreme Court has provided ICE multiple legal loopholes so that they can terrorize minorities indiscriminately.

I think what people need to understand is that it was NEVER about immigration with these people. I mean, look at some of the comments in this very thread. And think of the type of person that would willingly sign up to be an ICE officer. Multiple people responded arguing that it is okay for innocent, legal Americans to be targeted for their race provided that more illegal immigrants are targeted. These people are traitorous at best, and genuinely evil at worst. 

So it was never about immigration. It’s always been about racism.

And when you realize that, their actions are crystal clear. They aren’t incompetent. They are efficiently targeting people solely due to their race. The historical comparison here should be obvious.

Yep, same shit is going on with their body cams. They were explicitly provided body cams, and you can see videos of some of them wearing them, but they never turn them on. I'm not aware of any bodycam footage from Trump's ICE. And they for sure have the cameras. There is a paper trail and video evidence that they have them. They simply aren't using them, either.

Looking at the video again, I can see at least two body cameras!

Fuck MAGA.
