If you speak Spanish and work in construction, you’re probably illegal.
President Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court on Thursday to resume indiscriminate immigration stops and arrests that swept through Hispanic communities in California.
A federal judge halted the administration’s “roving” raids in July, finding that agents likely used racial profiling to arrest immigrants suspected of being in the U.S. illegally and unlawfully detained them without access to an attorney.
“Needless to say, no one thinks that speaking Spanish or working in construction always creates reasonable suspicion,” U.S. Solicitor General John Sauer wrote in Trump’s petition. “Nor does anyone suggest those are the only factors federal agents ever consider. But in many situations, such factors — alone or in combination — can heighten the likelihood that someone is unlawfully present in the United States."
I wonder why Trump lets Miller get away with this. Obviously this is popular with his core base, but it seems like Trump has some hesitations, yet lets Miller keep doing this.
“A criminal complaint alleges that Velez “stepped into an officer’s path and and extended one of her arms in an apparent effort to prevent him from apprehending a male suspect he was chasing and that Velez’s outstretched arm struck that officer in the face.”
Sounds like a fair cop. What’s your problem with it?
