Rueben Antonio Cruz was sitting with a friend in Rogers Park when ICE agents pulled up onto the street.

The immigration officers stopped their truck and went straight after them on Oct. 9, Cruz told the Tribune.

“They asked us if we have papers. I said I do but I don’t have them on me,” Cruz, a 60-year old man with heart problems originally from El Salvador, recalled in Spanish.

The agents stood Cruz up, put him in their truck, drove around in circles, and asked questions, he said.

I hope he gets rich from suing them.

It’s technically illegal to not carry your green card. But it’s also authoritarian as fuck to kidnap somebody because they didn’t have it on them.

He was technically required to have his papers on him and the Supreme Court made it legal to racially profile people… which is just sad but it does mean he has no recourse

That's the most American rebuttal to this - too bad the Supreme Court is in Trump's pocket.

I just wish it didn't come from our taxes. Should come from their pay and/or benefits.

I agree.

However, I'm more than happy to contribute my share of taxes to this man's payout specifically because fuck ICE

Supreme Court: 6/3 not signed its legal to ICE to fine citizens if they look brown.
