Where was he born? What is his name? Who is his mother? Who is his father?

“I told them, they are dead,” Cruz said. The agents said they needed the information anyway so they could look him up in their databases. Eventually, the agents verified that he is, in fact, legally in the country. And they let him go.

But not before writing him a $130 ticket for not having his papers. Cruz’s friend, who is homeless, did not have legal status and was taken away by the feds.

Trumps gestapo doing a great job at violating so many citizens rights.

And if he had his papers, they would have said they were fake, confiscated them, and hassled him anyway:

Which is why we have the 4th amendment.

Edit: dumpster fire beyond this point. I am employing a zero tolerance blocking policy for non-sequitur doomer bullshit. It doesn't create a conversation, it just capitulates to fascism. I've got no room for you in my online spaces.

Oh cute, you think The Constitution still matters to those in power

[–] snausagesinablanket@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Which is why we ~~have~~ had the 4th amendment.

[–] foggy@lemmy.world -2 points 17 hours ago

More doomer bullshit.

Just blocking this nonsense at this point. Bye!

[–] knight@lemmy.zip 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

The 4th has been nullified by the Supreme Court. Look up the case Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo.

[–] foggy@lemmy.world -2 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

The constitution requires an enormous process to be amended. A single ruling does not change the existence of the 4th amendment.

The suggestion that a single ruling would "nullify" a constitutional amendment is so far removed from reality, I can only suggest you go read a fucking book.

What the fuck is going on with this smooth brain bullshit in this comment section?

Laws only work if they are upheld. Burying your head in the sand and pretending like this shit isn't happening won't fix it.

[–] foggy@lemmy.world -3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Okay blocked. No space for shitheads like this.

Read a book.

[–] falseWhite@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Read a book

How about you look around instead and see what's happening in America and how it's becoming fascist.

Or you can read that in history books in 50 years.

[–] winkerjadams@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 13 hours ago

If he read Fahrenheit 451 he would know that we won't have history books in the future anymore

They are not in fact saying please.

[–] oddlyqueer@lemmy.ml 29 points 1 day ago

It makes me sick to think about how these people who slip through and talk to the press are just the tip of the iceberg. How many people have just disappeared without a trace? Are they in concentration camps, labor camps, death camps? I don't know if we'll ever have a complete picture of what's happening, but what we already know is heartbreaking. Fuck this.

“In Soviet Russia…”

Pitiful

[–] DesertMagma@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

When you were young in the USA, how many times did they hammer home the message "America is the land of the free. You will never be asked to show your papers here. Thats the difference between us and them." ? Clearly not the "greatness" the GOP has in mind.

[–] scaredoftrumpwinning@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago

The GOP stands for one thing Guardians Of Pedos.

[–] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)
