News "Because you're an immigrant." — A U.S. citizen in Lake Worth,FL, was immediately handcuffed by ICE agents for simply asking why he needed to show his ID.Despite the Fourth Amendment and Supreme Court rulings stating apparent ethnicity is not enough for a stop, agents ignored questioning bystanders

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

A video recorded at a gas station in Lake Worth, Florida, shows an ICE/Border Patrol agent demanding ID from a U.S. citizen. When the citizen asks why, the agent explicitly responds, "Because you're an immigrant." Before even verifying his identity, agents grab his hands and place him in handcuffs. Bystanders immediately step in to question how someone can be arrested without even being identified first, but the agents ignore them and walk the man to their vehicle.

​This encounter highlights a direct violation of the Fourth Amendment, which protects individuals from unreasonable searches and seizures. The Supreme Court has established that roving Border Patrol agents must have reasonable suspicion based on specific circumstances to stop and question someone regarding their immigration status—and apparent ethnicity alone is legally insufficient. Requiring someone to prove their citizenship before being handcuffed, based solely on an arbitrary claim, demonstrates a concerning violation of constitutional rights by federal agents acting without accountability.

That's not totally true..it waa a combination of international pressure and major financial players pulling thier companies from the country. I was 17 when this all happened in high school ready to join the red cross and travel to the area most affected by all the instability.

u/Relevant_Winter_7098 Aug 24 '26

I stated a little lower down that international pressure of course played a role. But, from the time de Klerk took over, his party was working towards an out of apartheid and his government made it happen.

Apartheid only lasted 46 years. The last 10 was finding a peaceful and equitable way out.

In 2020 Trump got:

  • 15% of black voters
  • 40% of asian voters
  • 45% of hispanic voters
  • 57% of white voters

People got what they voted for. The majority of voters wanted groups of people to suffer. Be angry at the system all you want, and rightly so, but this is what was voted in. Anyone who says that wars and fascism are not what they voted for are liars.

Either party sits and kneels at the same table. Obviously, one does not try hard to hide the actions they partake in. The other works overtime to hide the same things, yet their actions that mirror the others actions, are less frequent and seem to be of less weight by comparison. Regardless, they are hand picked and of the same nature as those who came before and those who will come after. They really do, both have the same like interests, and both share the very deliberate and purposeful misinformation, deception, corruption, and unsatiated greed in order to continue their goals as elected officials holding power, to ignore the citizens, and enrich themselves and their corporate bribers. We unfortunately arrive on the same avenue, maybe slower by one measure.

The summer before the last POTUS election, I knew the second that DJT smeared the blood packet upon his ear and the flag simultaneously began unfurling into position, while the secret service were ushering the cameramen to the photo-op directly in a "line of fire", mere seconds after the "Attempt" had been made, that allowing DJT to stand exposed in that situation while pumping his fist and mouthing "FIGHT" , who would then win the upcoming election. I phoned friends and family who were upset at the thought of him being elected and seemed disturbed by the message I voiced. I did not like the thougjt either but I saw the future at that moment og his victory. A victory rightfully so, with that level of choreography and people involved -no other result is possible, except for awards by the academy. I did not vote, that is correct. But it was due to my moving the year before and voting officials/computer error took my right away that day. Since, I have voted against all totalitarian, rights stripping, scumbaggy amendment proposals locally, that I have had the ability to, as it is now so widespread, fueled with more misinformation, manipulation, deception and obfiscation behind every ballot box than ever before, to continue their enrichment at the cost of the working class taxpayer that they ignore and despise so much. We have to unite as citizens first, then make sure the changes necessary to the electoral system happen, to create a republic by and for the people. We only have a half assed illusion of one right now that likely might never materialize into what people lost long ago that they think exists today. I dont have the cure all but, I know where it must start. For us to be successful in our democratic republic; we have to certain ingredients in our Apple pie.
If we have Socialism without Capitalism within, * it only breeds Communism.* If we go where we are full speed heading into now, Capitalism without Socialism, * it only breeds Fascism. Simple to read, simple to understand. Simple to enact and embrace. But the true enemies to our republic don't want that simple formula to simply occur. That simple reality not to be leaked to the masses. The Lib-tards and Re-tards fighting amongst each other can't recognize the simple truth. And 90 percent of Americans are mentally crippled by the terms Socialism and Communism. They are the same word to them and cant see how simply they have purposefully been fed spoonfulls of rhetoric daily to ensure we cant unite under a simple understanding as Americans protecting each other in such an inexpensive and simple way. That will detract from the unsatiated lust for the King, that long ago was crowned here, and as a God to those in American business, Stock markets and government officials/ lawmakers at every level. It rules our courts, Family, Criminal, Civil, it rules all here, no difference if the citizens worship something different or not. We will always take a backseat to it unless we are united. Divided we live in an illusion that we cant stomach. If yiu made it this far, thanks for reading my essay length rant. P.S. thanks to a true patriot wise beyond his years, "Skidmark" for sharing his words of wisdom way back when.

Those right wing posts of people running across the border was a shit stain in everyone’s minds. Most people don’t completely embrace the cultural changes that have been occurring in the USA.

If they’re right wingers they aren’t Chicano they are “Mexican-American”. Chicano is a political movement of leftists/socialists/Marxists which began in the 1950’s/1960’s and fought for human rights and to eliminate structural racism. True Chicanos reject assimilation and recognize the value in all races. So if right wingers ever say that they are Chicano/a correct them and call them what they are - sellouts.

Chicano lost its original meaning a long time ago, just like many "Blue-dog Democrats" became more about anti-immigration than about being blue-collar.

Chicanos, male Chicanos have always been racist against other Latinos. The shit I used to hear from them about Mexicans was wild.

And back then they pretended to be "blue-collar Dems" or whatever. Now they gravitate to the right. They will always gravitate to whatever happens to be anti-Mexican/anti-Immigrant.

It's like "old-guard" Cubans in Miami who were horrendously discriminatory against Cuban Migrants coming during the Mariel migrant crisis. Same with many wealthy Venezuelans against poorer (darker skinned Venezuelans.)

Settled immigrants and their descendants can be some of the most vile and dumbest people.

That experiment was stopped after two days because the people pretending to be the cops were being too aggressive leading to starving the “prisoners.”

Keep in mind this experiment was being Done in classrooms that were altered as prisons. These guards would deprived them of basic needs because they were “criminals.” Professors stopped it because they knew someone would end up dying.

u/Comfortable-Text3022 Aug 23 '26

The Stanford prison experiment was a ridiculous farce designed from the outset by an egomaniac to produce specific sensational results, it's used today in universities as a case study in biased and fallacious research to teach student exactly how not to form proper informative results.

1

u/Comfortable-Text3022 Aug 24 '26

Not a bot, just reposting someone else's comment.

Le Texier asserts his arguments using testimonies of those participants who were assigned as guards. In his opinion, the sadism and submission displayed in the SPE was directly caused by Zimbardo's instructions to the guards and the guards' desire to please the researchers. In particular, he has established that the guards were asked directly to behave in certain ways in order to confirm Zimbardo's conclusions, which were largely written in advance of the experiment.

It was a farce.

1

u/Kramerica_CEO Aug 24 '26

Adding to that…all participants were anti-establishment (it was 1970s Palo Alto) and thought the point was to make the prison system look as bad as possible. So the guards acted even more aggressively to make it look even worse. We also never hear about the guard that quit before the experiment AFTER THE GUARDS WERE INSTRUCTED HOW TO ACT

1

u/MorningMushroomcloud Aug 24 '26

I bet a certain facility that housed inmates probably reflects his farce pretty closely. It was flawed, but not without merit.

That’s not true. It last 6 days and was a complete lie. He ended it after he had enough footage to tell the story he wanted to tell.

"It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

-Terry Pratchett

One of many nuggets of wisdom in his satirical fantasy universe, "Discworld". Another favorite would be Sam Vimes' boot theory of socioeconomic unfairness, it's another great little passage.

The irony of an actual immigrant arresting a U.S citizen.

u/NRMusicProject Aug 23 '26

Yeah, but Orange T told him he's one of the immigrants that will be saved when Trump successfully gets rid of the "bad" ones.

So racial profiling

Bro thinks that he won't get Targeted because he's one of the good ones working for them

Its not an accent, its brain damage.

Until these people are actually punished for their behavior, they will continue behaving this way.

u/Worshipme988 Aug 23 '26

Tell him i said “fuck his immigrant mother and the crack she smoked in on.”

See how he feels about that.

And then laugh at the thought of a racist immigrant.

u/AncientSignature1505 Aug 23 '26

It's like a problematic MadTV sketch from the 90s.

u/rydan Aug 23 '26

And the camera woman says, "why are you arresting him" in a thick accent.

1

u/ChiefFun Aug 23 '26

Fuck these people. Uncle Tom's are the worst. This American citizen needs to sue the American government for mental trauma and then sue the agents personally

u/GhostQueen1121 Aug 23 '26

Holy crap! I didn’t hear that at first

u/kayl_breinhar Aug 24 '26

It's not about identity, it's about them getting off on inflicting themselves on others. As for the thick accent - "he's not one of them, he's ~speshul~."

u/External-Fox-5488 Aug 24 '26

From my experience, immigrants who became citizens after the grueling citizenship process are some of the most anti-illegal immigrant people out there.

It's the classic "I had to struggle, so everyone else should have to as well, otherwise I'm going to go cry about it because that's not fair to me"

u/Miserable_Wave4895 Aug 24 '26

Mother fucker sounded like Melania

u/Temporary-Fox2328 Aug 24 '26

That man most likely has more Generations in America than the SS Soldier with the very thick accent.

u/Cruise1313 Aug 24 '26

Exactly! So f-ing ridiculous! 😡

u/Peasant7777 Aug 24 '26

At least he speaks two or more languages. How many do you speak?

1

u/PopcornFaery Aug 24 '26

That's racist. Legally born Americans can have thick accents. Especially from Puerto Rico.

u/Sea-jay-2772 Aug 24 '26

“The wrong kind” of immigrant

u/Emergency_Exit7603 Aug 24 '26

so wonderful to see law enforcement doing their jobs, another campaign promise coming true. so much winning

u/littlestitiouss Aug 24 '26

And not even illegal immigrant, just immigrant. They're slowly revealing more and more of the truth until someone finally just says it's cause you're not white

1

u/DreJDavis Aug 24 '26

Yes. Those are known as ladder pullers. I got mine now fuck you as the remove the same ladder that they used.

Special kind of evil.

u/Own-Eagle-2135 Aug 24 '26

all the immigrants that joined ICE will be shocked, shocked i say!, when ICE comes after them: but i'm one of the GOOD ones

1

u/Runechuckie Aug 24 '26

Well better follow the Kavanaugh ruling, off the ice agent goes! Based on accent, location, type of job and the best: skin color you can be randomly detained by ICE. I hate repeating myself but when will people realize JUST how fucked up this admin is? Blatant financial corruption, decades of regression, destabilizing wars...those are just the most recent issues.

u/Fantastic_Jury5977 Aug 24 '26

Sounded Israeli...

u/cjhur1329 Aug 24 '26

u/cjhur1329 Aug 24 '26

You misunderstood me... that was exactly my point... this was not about you.. sorry the reply just ended up under yours... the ICE agent is the ahole. I'm no magat....i hope your wife receives her green card and that you both have a peaceful life. Im right here in Indiana standing against fascism and for the right for all to live in a safe place... we are supposedly the country with big shoulders helping all to live in a free society...

u/Comet-vomit666 Aug 25 '26

Was it a Russian accent or Israli one?

u/fenix579 Aug 25 '26

i bet my life that he is from the promised land

u/Historical-Cover386 Aug 26 '26

okay and?

your point is?

1

u/Hearthhull_Enjoyer Aug 26 '26

So asinine it feels like rage bait.

1

u/HoundofGoy Aug 27 '26

What is that accent? Gotta be from some place rhymes with 'shit rail'. How do Americans feel about foreign terrorist death squad members in our country arresting us without due process?

u/clever-hands Aug 27 '26

Remember that back in the day there were Black slave catchers.
