Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.
This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

You can tell the administration is serious about rooting out fraud in Minnesota by the fact they just forced all of the prosecutors working those fraud cases to resign.

Congress should pass a law requiring agents to show their faces, identify themselves, & wear their badges. It’s not agent safety we have to worry about these days.
End so-called Kavanaugh stops & admin warrant-based forced entry into homes too. Let’s have a Constitution.

America is now at the heavily armed secret police doing warrantless door-to-door house raids in search of undesirable ethnicities and/or political dissenters stage. The difference from well known historical cases is down to scale.
A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis
The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway
They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

In case people tell you that public criticism of the court doesn’t matter, here’s Brett Kavanaugh trying to walk back what he said in the ICE roving patrol case - when he blessed racial profiling & called the stops prompt.
He was lambasted; @akalhan.bsky.social coined the term “Kavanaugh stops”

This ruling is a big deal; the deployment of the guard was awful, harmful, and autocratic.
But SCOTUS isn’t all good now!!

This is terrifying!
ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)
This is Trump’s America.

/2 In my view, a judge who thinks a bar complaint is the appropriate response to a lawyer criticizing a decision as “fascist” is unsuited to be a judge and dubiously suited to be respected as a fellow American.
