the amount of hate crimes we see in the US will drastically rise, especially among people who don’t “look” or “sound” American, especially indigenous people. ignorance is now intelligence.

Not a bug, but a feature of the Republiqon agenda.
If you’re an American citizen in a red state, that looks visibly Mexican/South American and speaks fluent Spanish, you should lean into this! Go put on a serape, a sombrero, some chanclas and sell tamales or tortillas in front of the local mall right now while singing “Feliz navidad” - just be the full, lead-huffing boomer racist fantasy caricature. Get arrested and then get yourself a FAT settlement for civil rights violations… while we still have courts and judges who don’t have spray tan stains on their white collared robes.
This is a terrible idea.
Cops are completely immune and there is little to no chance the courts would uphold any civil rights violations under Dictator Trump
Criminally they’re shielded by qualified immunity for a lot of things, civilly there’s more leeway there and taxpayers to be fleeced.
Sure, the cop is shielded, and will not pay a penny. The taxpayers on the other hand…
“Fat settlement” is spelled a little differently in reality:
Mark Lyttle, an American citizen with mental disabilities who was wrongfully detained and deported to Mexico and forced to live on the streets and in prisons for months, settled his case for $175,000 against the federal government.
That’s more than my yearly salary though so… 🤷🏽♀️ No, but that’s absolutely horrendous what he went through.
I mean cops being defunded by thousands of US citizens wrongfully detained and deported doesn’t sound so bad
You think everyone being deported is gonna get due process?
I don’t actually. Read the last sentence. Try to start from a place of unity instead of division in your replies, friend.

About that. They’re expanding Gitmo.
Omg, please make this a thing.
just be the full, lead-huffing boomer racist fantasy caricature.
They love their racist caricatures though. You know: to point to and reinforce prejudices. Hell, that strategy is more likely to land a position with the GOP than detained.
We’ve been getting news reports like this and ones about Native Americans, and they are egregious, but it’s worth noting we’re not getting enough stories about the undocumented people and how badly they’re being treated. They’re people too. What’s being done to them is legal under this administration, but it’s evil.
I don’t know about you but we are getting a lot of stories locally about ICE. They just don’t make the mainstream news.
There are a lot of people who don’t pay attention to local news, only mainstream. Hell, there were people ON LEMMY saying the ICE raids were all hot air AS THEY WERE HAPPENING because they weren’t paying attention.
Thats some bullshit. We should all start speaking spanish then.
I’m looking into convo Spanish at the local C. C.
Papers, please.
Unfortunately, that was decided by SCOTUS a while ago in Terry v. Ohio.
Hmm not to discredit this, but how does that work, being detained and having to produce a birth certificate … does one normally daily carry a birth certificate next to ones ID?
And if you’re detained without a a birth certificate while on vacation across the country?
Only ID on you? Go to prison?
No ID nor birth certificate and you’ll either get shot or deported?
What if you speak something else than Spanish or English amongst yourselves?
How long 'till the Trump administration mandates a form of ID on ones hand, arm, or forehead?
Lol. The religious nutjobs will really love it when he gives us a choice of the taking the mark (of the beast) or face deportation.
It would be awesome though if we were able to deport all the religious nut jobs. Though not for the places these crazies would be deported to.
Put them on an Ark - wooden, overloaded, cast adrift in the type of weather that would cause massive flooding, if you catch my drift. Of course, gathering two of each animal would be cruel, so we’ll skip those.
Someone can bring it, fax it, send a picture, carry a picture? Carrying it seems like a huge risk of accidental loss.
Do you think every US born citizen is going to suddenly carry around a photocopy of their birth certificate everytime they leave their house?
No, that’s why I didn’t list it. I’m suggesting I don’t doubt the veracity of the article because it’s just impossible to have access to a birth certificate. That is a simplification of the opinion of the guy I replied to.
If you don’t carry your federal ID with you at all times, there is no way to determine your US citizenship. Also, there is no federal ID. And many states issue drivers licenses to undocumented immigrants to avoid issues with unlicensed and uninsured motorists.
immigrants are meant to carry their green card on them at all times. i keep mine with my driving license.
i also keep an album of photographs of my ID on my phone
sure but these were us citizens. i am a citizen. i woild never carry my birth certificate around. what if i lose my wallet? identity theft??
I understand, I was saying that’s why they were asked for papers, suspected of being illegal immigrants, not saying they should’ve had to follow this bullshit
This is possibly not a real thing that happened.
Of all the news agencies I looked into that tried to verify this story, they all came up empty handed. Even snipes did a dive in on it and found nothing
So yeah look at all the comments posted here jumping to conclusions.
I like the idea of Snopes being called “Snipes” in an parallel universe. It gives it an air of vigilante je ne sais quoi and it makes me giddy.
Yes, let’s give the fascist the benefit of the doubt… It’s the least we can do for them
Benefit of the doubt would be to say it absolutely didn’t happen since proof doesn’t exist now. I didn’t say that.
It’s things like this that make it very difficult for me to tell my right wing shit head friends that spreading misinformation is exclusive to right wing shit heads. There are absolutely left wing shit heads who will spread any unsupported allegation that supports their own bias with no regard for integrity at all.
So thanks for having the integrity that others willfully lack, even if you only get to a few. You are a force for good in a kiddy pool of pee.
Thank you.
This is what Trump wants.
So basically you can be arrested over a mandatory high school education requirement. Fucking great.
Time to learn Spanish.
Hopefully, we start seeing civil rights lawsuits for the usual – 4th and probably 5th Amendment violations. You know, the classics.
Then it makes it’s way to the supreme court and they give it their stamp of approval.
La Migra!
Got a real NKVD going on here. A real “people’s police.”
