Americans Civil rights being violated by President Trumps Customs and Border Patrol

Honestly, even as a former Republican myself, I blame the Republican Party for a lot of this. They are the enablers. They have cowered before Trump and covered for him through this whole process - and they should have known better.

These are happening while coming back into the US. And they are only stopping Journalists, Lawyers and advocates who are helping people with legal issues in Mexico. Not just any normal citizens. They are being targeted for what they do.

Yup. You have that right.

Iā€™ve rode all the way down to Cabo and stayed for 5 months before getting my tourist visa once.

Being stopped at the border crossing into the US is expected. Secondary inspection is a hassle but not uncommon.

But stopped from entering Mexico?

One photojournalist said she was pulled into secondary inspections three times and asked questions about who she saw and photographed in Tijuana shelters. Another photojournalist said she spent 13 hours detained by Mexican authorities when she tried to cross the border into Mexico City. Eventually, she was denied entry into Mexico and sent back to the U.S.
That amazes me.

Homeland Security has more information on these journalists than the kids they seperated from their parents.

I still canā€™t figure out how they got worked by an idiot that bankrupts casinos and has trouble constructing proper sentences. Was the the win over Hillary worth looking like spineless losers?

Yes but teh wall

Yes, as long as we get a wall.

After all these endless investigations into Trump over ā€œpossibleā€ violations or somethings, all of a sudden Dem activists are concerned about civil liberties, intrusive questions and investigations?
Spare me.
If they have done nothing wrong, they should welcome investigations, right?

I donā€™t know if they are or not. But I am concerned. Why arenā€™t you?

Because blah blah blah whatabout Trump.

When you run for President, you sign up for the criticism, the intrusive questions and you give up certain civil liberties. A normal American citizen does not. These are normal American citizens.

Thank you. Was just going to say the same thing.

Probably the concern is over those who are helping organize caravans and advising illegals to pretend assylum. They are assisting aliens, not bringing rights to American citizens.
If they donā€™t want to be quesioned, then they need to refuse giving answers.
And as I said, I just donā€™t have much sympathy with those who want to send out fishing expedition questions and demands to nearly a hundred people based on their political associations all of a sudden pretendking to care about investigations of innocent people. The hypocrisy is just too strong.

Thats right they deserve it!

After all we are under invasion!

or somethingā€¦

I have no idea what this is supposed to mean.

How does one ā€œbringā€ rights to anyone?

Work on it.

Work on what?

Why are you unwilling to clarify your meaning?

My side is not without blame either. Unconstitutional watch lists have been around since at least the beginning of the Patriot Act and Democrats did absolutely nothing about them when they had complete control.
