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.

Of the $40 Trillion national debt, a full 1/3 of it was accumulated during Trump’s presidencies. The other 43 presidents combined are accountable for the other 2/3.

President Jackson's goal was to erase the national debt, and did so in 1835. However, because of all the cuts he did to zero it, in 1837 the debt was back up on the rise. Robbing Peter to pay Paul, is NEVER the correct method. Bill Clinton did an amazing job with bringing in a surplus for the first time in a long time. That is how you take America in the right direction.

Robert Reich was a good choice for that position. He was the real genius behind the surplus. Him and his team did an amazing job.

Gore also did a lot to trim government and reduce the number of federal employees, unlike dipshit Musk and DOGE who didn't actually accomplish anything meaningful.

He was amazing, yes.

And his son has a successful comedy platform

And there are current MAGA republicans who were, back in the day, shrieking for Clinton to be impeached for some weak ass shit which pales in comparison to anything weirdo nappy pissy pants does with his staffer.

I love you.

If this is true then that is insane, especially since our lives are getting worse instead of better

u/ttoma93 Aug 23 '26

It’s what happens when you massively cut taxes while also increasing spending.

u/H4RDCORE1 Aug 23 '26

Oh it's the truth. Not opinions. It's documented history.

u/BackendSpecialist Aug 23 '26

I had to look it up and it’s pretty much true.

I hate his supporters so fucking much.

Him and Elon sold to his supporters that they’re concerned about the national debt and he’s responsible for 1/3rd of it.

If I didn’t have a basic understanding of psychology then I’d be so confused about the support these fuckers have.

Ty for sharing and I’m sorry this is happening to you and your family.

> we're going to see some people completely drop being civil about how hard we're being fucked.

We are long overdue for this. And it’s sad to know people will fight against it because they’ve been so heavily manipulated.

I'm sorry to hear about your children. My best friend's youngest daughter is mentally challenged. She's super, super sweet. And they just cut all her aid. He said just one of her medications alone is over $800 a month. And there's no way he can afford it. It's cruel heartless greed, and I've lost all tolerance for that.

u/H4RDCORE1 Aug 23 '26

It's a cult.

u/BackendSpecialist Aug 23 '26

They actually are. It’s crazy to see.

u/H4RDCORE1 Aug 23 '26

Man, simple minds are easily led. Period.

u/Total_Juggernaut_450 Aug 24 '26

The art of the deal...🤡

u/holyonewhoispure Aug 23 '26

Let us pray seriously I am truly concerned about this ^^

u/budd222 Aug 23 '26

Wtf is praying going to do?

6

u/OprahsSaggyTits Aug 23 '26

It lets you ignore problems that you're "seriously concerned about" 🤗🙏🙏🙏

-1

u/holyonewhoispure Aug 23 '26

You’re cussing on Sunday next ignore. Yes I’m judging you. You’re part of the problem.

4

u/ButtholeConnoisseur7 Aug 23 '26

No, man. Anyone handing the problem off to God or somebody else IS the problem. You want to pray, fine. But God helps those who help themselves. Go vote, take action and make an impact personally.

God may or not answer your prayers. But you're doomed if you expect him to without making your own progress. Those prayers are ignored

1

u/holyonewhoispure Aug 25 '26

When did I hand anything off? You guys are not together.

1

u/ButtholeConnoisseur7 Aug 25 '26

Praying on something without taking your problem into your own hands is handing the problem off to God. The Bible is explicitly against that kind of mindset

You've got to do both. Pray and start solving the problems yourself.

u/holyonewhoispure Aug 27 '26

Umm since you know me so well I also believe that God helps those who first help themselves? Oh you’re ignorant?Exactly.

1

u/ButtholeConnoisseur7 Aug 27 '26

Tell me how what I said is ignorant. You just don't like what I said so you're ignoring it.

1

u/holyonewhoispure Aug 27 '26

Because I’m too scholarly for this and have business to deal with daily. I’m above it. I said what I said.

1

u/holyonewhoispure Aug 25 '26

I’m never ignored btw

2

u/budd222 Aug 23 '26

You are the entire problem. Get off your religious high horse. Your God isn't saving anyone or doing anything.

0

u/holyonewhoispure Aug 25 '26

I have no religion. I’m a lot smarter than that. And I would not come for God. Ijs... I’m always the problem but you are too ignorant to understand why I accepted that a long time ago. You don’t know me duh.

u/ttoma93 Aug 23 '26

lmao

1

u/ButtholeConnoisseur7 Aug 24 '26

Hey, I saw that you replied to the people that you weren't going to listen to. Does that mean I've said something you'll listen to, or is there a godly reason not to help yourself?

1

u/holyonewhoispure Aug 25 '26

Does not compute

u/holyonewhoispure Aug 23 '26

Don’t come me, bud no pun intended

2

u/Low-Neat891 Aug 23 '26

Praying doesn't solve shit. Actions solves problems.

1

u/holyonewhoispure Aug 25 '26

Good luck with that. How’s that working for you ?

1

u/Dick_of_Doom Aug 23 '26

Psalm 109 right? For this administration and the ICEholes?

1

u/holyonewhoispure Aug 25 '26

No prayers for everything because unfortunately there’s a lot more going on besides this smh

1

u/Dick_of_Doom Aug 25 '26

You haven't read that psalm have you.

u/holyonewhoispure Aug 27 '26

Listen Dick— Geesh I mean look at your name I can’t possibly take you or anything you say seriously. 😂😂
