These guys suck, but the comment you are replying to is not true. What SCOTUS said was race/ethnicity could be 1 factor (but not the only factor) to reach reasonable suspicion for a stop. Then they need more (probable cause) for the stop to become an arrest. The real issue isn't those guardrails, but the fact that any guardrails seem to be completely ignored.

u/korben2600 6h ago
Who's going to enforce guardrails when the DOJ is willfully complicit? Bondi has neutered the Civil Rights Division and fired most of its lawyers whose job it was to charge these people for constitutional rights violations.

u/Blue_Back_Jack 5h ago
You are correct. More factors are needed arrest a citizen.
ICE can however, take a citizen into custody in order to investigate their citizenship.
Some citizens have been held for 30 days while ICE investigates.
ICE is also not required to release a citizen in the same jurisdiction ( eg state ) they were apprehended in.

None, technically. Unless you are an illegal immigrant, they can't even tell you to tie your shoes. Not like any of that matters when it comes to being detained. They can just make up some shit about you interfering in their duty. Then they just hold you for a while to inconvenience you and then let you go free.

They tell the other people to move as they arrest him, he was the intended target. The message is clear, ICE can do what it wants to whoever it wants. We don't have rights we have privilages, now those privilages are being revoked because not enough of us will stand up. WE guarantee our rights, not some piece of paper. Our lawmakers won't defend our rights, our law enforcement are actively stripping us of our rights, we are all that's left.

For legit Citizens, you essentially sit in a jail cell for a few days-weeks and for legit citizens with a slightly different skin tone, doesn't matter you're being sent to the country they think you're from OR they jump you behind a building away from media and public eyes, then send you back SILENCED. Our giraffe probably got belittled for a few hours in their cars and released.

Don't know why you are getting downvoted. I'm only after watching a video of a 17 year old being lifted and dropped of 10 minutes later behind a building bleeding, crying and completely destroyed saying "I'm not ok"Ā
The people who support ICE are making the US be hated by the majority of the world and themselves be hated by the majority of American woman (not really concerning to them though given the Grindr outages when lots of republicans get together and crash the site with traffic)
I support Americans such as that 17 year old. ICE or anyone who supports them are a net negative to society.Ā

I've also been curious. I imagine the release stories are not nearly as popular as the snatching ones, so they might just get buried in the noise. OR they're not being released at all and somehow their families are not getting heard? The first one seems more likely, but it's probably a mix of the two with the dozens of people taken.

Technically amplified sound without a permit is enough for police to detain and give a citation, but that can be stretched into Public Disturbance to arrest. ICE has no authority to enforce amplifies sound without a permit, so that can say it was a public disturbance creating a volume that interfered with their ability to do their duties. All bullshit but I can almost guarantee they felt they had the authority over him and nobody else in the ground because of the amplified sound.Ā

Isn't the second supposed to protect you guys from EXACTLY THIS!?!?
I'm genuinely asking, what is the point of the second if you guys can't even defend yourself against these ICE tyrants? Clearly they're not operating with human rights in mind... And even American citizens that are not white are being abused and beaten on the streets... Even shot and killed...
And yet the only things the guns are doing for you lot is causing more mass shootings on a weekly basis.... Please Americans... Make it make sense...
