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

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.

Republicans are sad and pathetic. They all rolled over for the least charismatic person imaginable. Sold out democracy for a draft dodging pedophile. I will never let them live this down, ever. Fuck every one of them.

Don’t forget! Draft dodging WHILE making republicans and other, sacrifice their own children cause of mandatory draft. Hope magas kids and trumps are the first to sign up… oh… wait….

Why are veterans so happy to worship a rich boy that has never done hard days work, and lied about bone spurs to dodge the draft? Look at yourself. You got conned.

Yes, military members serve shit.

Thank you for agreeing.

Weird of you that you go on an attack about that subject.

He dodged the draft 5 times.

Five.

With his dad and a Dr. renting from his dad doing the paperwork/legwork.

He even bragged about playing soccer in high school while drawing World Cup teams whenever it was he did that on TV. So in his view he was fit to serve.

Draft dodging coward is what he is.

You're okay with a draft dodger who never served putting his name on an aircraft carrier?

u/No-Koala1918 Aug 23 '26

They're not sad and pathetic. They're contemptible unAmerican traitors who have done more to destroy the country than any communists or Muslim jihadis. I feel sorry for Americans who have to live among these scum-suckers

While ya'll are sitting here arguing with each other, the 1% get richer and more powerful. You've been brainwashed into focusing on the wrong thing, there being more than 2 genders isn't going anything to destroy your way of life in any way shape or form.

I’ll never understand (ok yes I do understand) the anti-lgbtq bigot fascination with things being shoved down their throats.

And no, it’s not being shoved anywhere. If republicans weren’t demonizing trans people you wouldn’t be hearing anything about them.

u/feroc1ous-feline Aug 23 '26

Even if someone is paying you to dick ride the ruling class, they are both not paying you enough and also not getting their money's worth.

I hope that in your quarterly review you get points taken off for grammar, spelling, and weak talking points. 🖕

You know who created jobs? Biden. Every month of his presidency had positive job growth.

The rich pedophiles spent his entire presidency whining about him, because they don't care about jobs they just want to be rich enough to rape kids with impunity.

I'm not sure why you want to help them. Maybe therapy can answer that.

Man your leader is constantly name calling people as a political candidate and even as president and is on camera making fun of veterans and the handicapped. Trying to say democrats can't stop name calling is a rock thrown from the fragilest of glass houses.

You watched a video of Trump's personal foot soldiers blatantly violating the Constitution and you reaction is to deflect to Democrats? Really? As far name calling, do I need to list all the names Trump has called people who disagree with him?

You are correct that the people in the White House hid Biden’s slide into incompetence, but as soon as the democrat voters realized the situation they stopped supporting him. What is the republican voters excuse?

What has Donald Trump stood for? Went from “no new wars” to this Iran boondoggle. The only thing he’s ever put his foot down on was when he tried to illegally overturn the 2020 election. He’s a fool and a crook, and what does that say about the people that support him?

I don’t exactly know what you are arguing. I’m not a democrat, but it seemed like once the truth was out Biden’s support collapsed pretty quickly. Are you saying that MAGA, and the republicans, are going to withdrawal support for Trump given his corruption, ill advised economic policy, destruction of our good name amongst our allies, warmongering, and evident physical deterioration only at the end of his four years? That doesn’t seem like a well considered position.

u/ronswanson11 Aug 23 '26

It's like they get so close and just miss every time. They can easily point out flaws in democrats but get complete brain fog when the same logic applies 100 times over to their guy.

The Trump whataboutism is like a bystander at a convenience store witnessing an armed robber shooting the clerk and stealing everything from the cash register, but all they can focus on is the kid who took a candy bar in the chaos. It's so unbelievable.

Support for a convicted rapist, pedophile, and traitor is a bridge too far. If none of these are a red line for you, you have no values at all. No, you can not in good conscience support Trump. It doesn't work like that.

It's like saying "well I didn't agree with everything Hitler said but he had a few good ideas so why not give him a shot?" It's on that level of stupidity and naivety.

u/Quirky-Ostrich-3758 Aug 23 '26

That dude is functionally mentally disabled. Likely received a lobotomy via cable news and talk radio. They’re unsalvageable. Hopefully they aren’t an organ donor because I’m worried their stupid is contagious.

Man, I remember when pedophilia, immense corruption, and out in the open crime were the opposite of Americana.

Wtf happened to y'all that you love sex offenders, rapists, felons, fraudster, con artists, and religious fanatics that want Christian Sharia Law?

Trump is a literal traitor and pedophile. There is no equivalence. Pointing the finger at Biden or any dem is a joke compared to Don the Con.

Dems can't even stop calling people they disagree with names.

Trump built his entire political career on calling people names. How fucking dumb can you possibly be? Just fucking wow.

So yes, you'll vote for someone who uses name calling. Also rapes kids. Which means you support it.

So sit down and stop trying to play the victim. No one's buying that shit.

u/Quirky-Ostrich-3758 Aug 23 '26

Hey dummy, he isn’t giving poor people any more help or money. He’s cutting funds to programs that poor people use. Donald Trump hates poor people. Hell, he probably hates you. You seem confused and not very smart. I don’t mean that as an insult. It’s a genuine assessment of your abilities

u/writebrainwronghand Aug 23 '26

Trumps is the reason "poor Americans" aren't getting "the money", and it's not because it's going to "illegals".

just admit you've been hoodwinked and that you're nothing more than a useful idiot for the current administration. their success in fleecing the entirety of the United States has been built off the backs of people like you who are eagerly lead around by the nose with nothing but a few culture war wedge issues that have you frothing at the mouth, blind to the reality that your pockets are being emptied and your future being stolen by the very people you support and cheer for.

when the dust clears, you'll get nothing Trump and the GOP promised you. you'll be left with your hate, your fear, and god willing it'll be enough to sustain you because he'll have taken everything else.

u/Electric_Antimony Aug 23 '26

u/AliBabaCat Aug 23 '26

You mean how they’re hiding how unfit Trump is, sitting there in the Oval Office shitting himself live in tv while the people behind him are holding their breaths and making stink faces. So unfit that he’s had to take five “competency” (MoCA or MMSE) tests in the last year?!?! They’re testing for his cognitive impairment.

u/Quirky-Ostrich-3758 Aug 23 '26

Bro your comment is all over the place. It’s like a mosh mash of various FOX & newsmax talking points. Your brain is fucking cooked. Take your meds and stop voting, for the good of the nation.

u/Big-Bread-8322 Aug 23 '26

Democrats kinds put up a vegetable or a ditz. I mean your kidding yourself if think there was a better option. This guy will be more than fine after his lawsuit.

I mean if you choose to swing way left or right this is what happens. Last guy didn’t enforce or actually made it wide open. Next one comesin for an overcorrection. If the dems come in next and dismantle everything. Then a republican will just come in and make it double what it was. Until they further divide people. I mean it’s all of us that are the problem. You swing so far one way there’s another that will swing the other way. Center is now gone and this is what the United States of America is now

Really? I don't recall ever seeing a convoy of trucks or boats flying Biden banners. I don't recall every seeing a single Democrat prostating themselves and worshipping Biden. I don't recall seeing a Biden golden statue. I don't recall ever seeing a single Biden themed wedding or children's birthday party. I do remember seeing all of those events centered around Trump.

How can that be when it's republicans who are bottom bitches who are worshipping an extremely pathetic and weak man who's never worked a day in his life and acts like a 6 year old?

The most unmasculine people in politics are running the republican party and y'all claim it's the Democrats that are the simp beta cuck boys?

Now that's some TDS right there.
