A video recorded last week has ignited outrage online after it captured ICE agents violently arresting two brothers in South Norwalk, Connecticut, in broad daylight without producing a warrant. The men, identified as Ricardo Chavez and his brother, reportedly hold legal status to live and work in the United States.

The footage (credit @alwaysfilmthepolice) shows plainclothes ICE agents forcibly detaining the men in a public area. Witnesses say the agents refused to provide identification or present a warrant when asked, instead resorting to physical force and a taser to subdue the brothers before hauling them away. They also allegedly damaged their vehicle.

Community members who know the Chavez family insist that both men are law-abiding residents with valid documentation. “They work, they pay taxes, and they belong here,” said one South Norwalk resident who witnessed the arrest. “This was nothing short of a kidnapping.”

Fifth Amendment:

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Fourteenth Amendment:

No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

They continue to violate the Constitution in so many ways. The Constitution recognizes "person" as any human on US soil.

  • unless you're brown or darker.

You made the classic mistake of forgetting the footnote, silly! See, now it all makes sense!

Did the new season drop yet !?

Not yet, October 29th. I'm looking forward to it! The songs were surprisingly good.

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 3 points 23 hours ago

The songs are pretty good! Most of the Helluva Boss songs are decent, but after having heard them dozens of times each... some of them just start sounding like shit tbh. There were only 1 or 2 Hazbin songs I actively found a bit annoying.

If they don't identify themselves, they are kidnappers and

SECOND AMENDMENT.

[–] uhmbah@lemmy.ca 4 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I see the 5th and 14th above... as a non American, can someone post the Second Amendment and then I'll be able to post all three amendments to thousands of posts. And feel smug about it.

Seriously, these need to be constantly posted in every single thread where it's required

2nd amendment is the right to bear arms.

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 9 points 1 day ago

Sure, but that only counts if you have due process, and if people are still presumed innocent until proven guilty.

But if you don't get your day in court, you can't do anything about this.

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 4 points 1 day ago

Only worth that the people defend

[–] Darleys_Brew@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Problem is there will be plenty of USAians still saying “this is what I voted for”.

[–] ebolapie@lemmy.world 6 points 23 hours ago

Right up until their door gets kicked in.
