Shockingly, there is some truth to this; in 1975, the Supreme Court ruled that racial profiling CAN be used for reasonable suspicion in immigration stops. But that decision was based on demographics at the time, and in the 50 years since, courts have invalidated it as used in Latino communities.
But, the Supreme Court says that Epic of Gilgamesh permits racial profiling.
Yes they do.
Hypocrites! Bigotry is the policy being enforced by Trump’s administration.
I can't stand that fucking guy. He's a soulless asshole.
you may not be surprised to learn that there is some racist shit in America's history
Yeah not sure about the ‘Shockingly’ part.
Welp better fucking hope I’m not there becuase I know my rights and I don’t answer questions of the Gestapo
All I see are videos of people being manhandled, not questioned
And I wouldn’t bet money on the Roberts Court stepping in on behalf of the litany of persons (Americans and immigrants, whether documented or not) impacted by 47’s ICE militia.
Yes, and importantly agency guidelines have also played a role in curbing all out fear inducing enforcement.
It boggles the mind that skin color will be the guiding determinate in ICEholes' decisions to detain, & it's just fine w/ Americans. I can't begin to imagine the outcry if the risk of this happening to caucasians was as high as it is for everyone else. Perhaps POC need to join the NRA en masse?
Is Tom drunk? Bc I can barely understand him.
Shut the fuck up you Nazi Elmer Fudd! Tom is so evil…
Could you share some quick examples and citations of how it has been invalidated?
based on his physical appearance, he should go back to chasing the Goonies.
I think 1939 Germany comes to mind but hey I’d never suggest that ICE are similar 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Is remaining silent probable cause of immigration violations?
"Suspect had the look of Hispanic about her, and since Los Angeles *is* an English-speaking American city, we could tell she looked out of place...."
Think abt this from a very real perspective of POC: Every parent of Black/Brown kids has "the talk" about how to behave when officers detain them because of the color of their skin. Consider what that talk is like now. It's about life and death under fascism. The venom of youth will bring rebellion.
So Tom Homan is stuck in 1975. Yeah, that tracks.
We need a statute for dealing with racist assholes as well.

I believe the courts have also ruled that running away from a cop gives them probable cause to stop you, as well.
Law is hard. ™️
California decided generations ago that rounding up “migrants” was not acceptable. They can stand in their booths on the 5 all they want and do so though.
At checkpoints!
Homan’s statement cannot be true. Tell me it is not. Detained citizens should file a class action suit against trump and his goons. Or a civil suit. This must be stopped.
His statement is strictly true in that police never need probable cause to stop someone on the street. Reasonable suspicion is enough. But I don’t think that’s what he was getting at
After watching the video, maybe it is what he was getting at. The description of it is misleading
Please someone help this man get the marbles out of his mouth!
After we abolish ICE, we need to see serious reforms regarding the rights we give up near or crossing our borders.
If it inconvenienced Caucasian straight males, this shit would stop. Racist trash.
That’s what ice and they’re leaders will get in hell when they get beaten unconscious & wake up with broken teeth.
This SCOTUS won’t invalidate racist profiling by “law enforcement”. It’s always been racist profiling, but people are attached to the euphemism of calling it racial profiling when it’s all racist profiling at root.
But since SCOTUS has pissed on the entire concept of 'precedent'...
So "ILLEGAL" means BROWN PEOPLE. Thanks for clearing that up for us.
It would be much much more humane and much much cheaper to just issue new green cards and new work visas to immigrants with no criminal record. Then work on immigration reform and have ICE go after the real criminals. Being undocumented in the US is a civil misdemeanor not a criminal offense.
So, according to the current administration, if you're Hispanic and a tax-paying citizen and 3rd generation American you have to just put up with this bullshit of getting stopped by various authorities on a regular basis to prove you're legal?
No ice Officer has ever spoken to their innocent victim who they have destroyed their lives without charges or trials or probable cause
They are not briefly detaining them. They are kidnapping them without questions and assaulting them without saying a word.
Well yeah, and I don’t think Aaron is implying otherwise. Just that, or once, they aren’t spewing COMPLETE nonsense. Just mostly nonsense.
I dont really know how I would have made it the last 6 months without your knowledge sharing Aaron!
Legal citation for this absurd claim is?
And even cops don’t need probable cause. They only need a reasonable suspicion. Race isn’t one of them.
Currently, the law authorizes immigration officers to "interrogate any alien or person believed to be an alien as to his right to be or to remain in the United States," which is what Homan was referring to.
This runs afoul of many state laws and constitutions. How does that work?
Of course I am wrong because I am not a lawyer, but... It says "without warrant" Not without probable cause... which I think is constitutional issue.
don’t answer questions except to ask for a lawyer
"Being vaguely brown" is not a reason to believe a person to be an alien.
Every sheriff says it "not racial profiling" but it literally is. (Language, "expression" etc)
Is physical appearance or language use sufficient ground to "believe a person to be an alien"?
taking the 5th won’t stop them from denying you due process and a bunk in El Salvador.
How broad is "person believed to be an alien" in practice? Do they need some specific factual reason or context for their belief? Or is this one of those cases where any semi-competent officer can "believe" anyone is an alien, like a traffic cop's "I smelled pot"?
Was this law really written in the context of mass deportation programs? How does one determine who could be an alien? Targeting predominately brown people still seems illegal/immoral as it leads to the creation of tiered classes of citizens/groups of people.
During yesterday's weed farm raid they found a worker who is legally allowed to live and work here but they couldnt verify his identity without arresting him first. They brought millions of rounds of ammo, tear gas, helicopters, humvees and forgot the ID checker? bsky.app/profile/acat...
So all except one were illegals then?
Believed to be an alien = brown skin = racial profiling. Is anyone keeping track of who has been taken and where they are currently?
Well that's awfully handy for when you stock a law enforcement agency with white supremacists.
Does the legal definition of "interrogate" include detention?
What if the immigrants spray themselves orange? Hmmm
