Where was he born? What is his name? Who is his mother? Who is his father?
“I told them, they are dead,” Cruz said. The agents said they needed the information anyway so they could look him up in their databases. Eventually, the agents verified that he is, in fact, legally in the country. And they let him go.
But not before writing him a $130 ticket for not having his papers. Cruz’s friend, who is homeless, did not have legal status and was taken away by the feds.
And if he had his papers, they would have said they were fake, confiscated them, and hassled him anyway:

Which is why we have the 4th amendment.
Edit: dumpster fire beyond this point. I am employing a zero tolerance blocking policy for non-sequitur doomer bullshit. It doesn’t create a conversation, it just capitulates to fascism. I’ve got no room for you in my online spaces.
Oh cute, you think The Constitution still matters to those in power

I think it’s pretty clear that many in power don’t believe the constitution applies to them. That’s not doomerism, because my answer isn’t “therefore we must give up.”
Oh cool, guess we abandon law then.
It is doomerism. It’s non-sequitur bullshit.
My response isn’t “abandon law” either.

But if we surrender in advance things will be better for us…🤪
Who the fuck said anything about surrendering anything?
SpaceNoodle?
Nope.
My bad. This thread has me feeling like I’m taking crazy pills.
Sick of the insane amount of doomer bullshit o Lemmy.
Totally. I was just steaming over three other threads with the top comment being typical Lemmy doomer BS.
I understand why it didn’t come across as a “yes, and” comment. I just find little to no value to commenting/replying to trolls where my reply probably would have made more immediate sense. I’d rather talk to you…
More doomer bullshit.
Just blocking this nonsense at this point. Bye!
The 4th has been nullified by the Supreme Court. Look up the case Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo.
The constitution requires an enormous process to be amended. A single ruling does not change the existence of the 4th amendment.
The suggestion that a single ruling would “nullify” a constitutional amendment is so far removed from reality, I can only suggest you go read a fucking book.
What the fuck is going on with this smooth brain bullshit in this comment section?
Laws only work if they are upheld. Burying your head in the sand and pretending like this shit isn’t happening won’t fix it.
Okay blocked. No space for shitheads like this.
Read a book.
How about you look around instead and see what’s happening in America and how it’s becoming fascist.
Or you can read that in history books in 50 years.
If he read Fahrenheit 451 he would know that we won’t have history books in the future anymore
