1. Brazen now #rage

[Grasswire2]

2. on everyone?

Or just brown=skinned folk?

[tymorial]

52. That can't be a serious question.

No offense but it is quite clear with this government intends to accomplish

[trev]

3. Police State has arrived. nt

[ConnorMarc]

67. America's BEEN a police state

For decades actually.

Visit other democratic countries, even islands, you'll see.

[trev]

72. I've been to several places in Europe.

London is horrible that way.

[Generic Other]

4. Someone should call ICE and report the Trump hotels

Find out how many undocumented workers he employs.

[blm]

53. 👍🏼

[33taw]

5. Flood the area with public defenders. There has to be probable cause to stop someone.

[Duppers]

33. Exactly. There has to be probable cause,

Otherwise this is unconstitutional - arbitrary search and seizure is prohibited by the Constitution.

[Azathoth]

63. Actually, thanks to stop and frisk, all they need is "reasonable suspicion"

Which is a bar so low it's almost impossible not to have it.

[Maraya1969]

64. That is what I was thinking. It is a constitutional right to not be stopped and searched

unless there is probable cause that you broke a law.

[DesertRat]

6. OMG, is this 1943 Germany?

[tblue37]

11. Papers, please! nt

[NightWatcher]

12. Well we do have a race of people in concentration camps

[UniteFightBack]

7. This is pissing me the hell off and I'm grateful to be in Queens and not the city because I would

head right the fuck up there with my big mouth. I would warn everybody ...you don't need to speak to the
AMERICAN GESTAPO.

[cwydro]

18. Well, what a good thing you're not there!

8. USA! USA! U.S. Citizen Who Was Held By ICE For 3 Years Denied Compensation By Appeals Court

U.S. Citizen Who Was Held By ICE For 3 Years Denied Compensation By Appeals Court
August 1, 2017 5:03 PM ET
Camila Domonoske

Davino Watson told the immigration officers that he was a U.S. citizen. He told jail officials that he was a U.S. citizen. He told a judge. He repeated it again and again.

There is no right to a court-appointed attorney in immigration court. Watson, who was 23 and didn't have a high school diploma when he entered ICE custody, didn't have a lawyer of his own. So he hand-wrote a letter to immigration officers, attaching his father's naturalization certificate, and kept repeating his status to anyone who would listen.

Still, Immigration and Customs Enforcement kept Watson imprisoned as a deportable alien for nearly 3 1/2 years. Then it released Watson, who was from New York, in rural Alabama with no money and no explanation. Deportation proceedings continued for another year.

Watson was correct all along: He was a U.S. citizen. After he was released, he filed a complaint. Last year, a district judge in New York awarded him $82,500 in damages, citing "regrettable failures of the government."

On Monday, an appeals court ruled that Watson, now 32, is not eligible for any of that money — because while his case is "disturbing," the statute of limitations actually expired while he was still in ICE custody without a lawyer.

[AJT]

13. ACLU needs to take this to the next appeal.

[Calista241]

47. The Supreme Court weighed in on this in United States v. Martinez-Fuerte back in 1976.

The court ruled that interior checkpoints were legal and not a violation of the 4th Amendment.

[Duppers]

34. Omfg! nt

[912gdm]

43. He needs a lawyer that can grease some wheels...

I hear Acosta isn't busy

[Everyman Jackal]

66. If he was still in ICE custody the statute of limitations had not begun.

Same as if you commit a crime and move to a country without extradition. Later you move back to the US. The day you move back starts the count and runs for 3 years.

[treestar]

9. Just standing on a street corner?

No one has to interact with them.

[Volaris]

10. Papers, please.

[demmiblue]

14. K&R

[elleng]

15. Sounds like Revolution time's approaching.

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

[SCVDem]

42. We did it once!

We have a green light to do it again.

[elleng]

48. I do think we're heading in that direction,

but so much has changed, won't be remotely similar.

[Mersky]

16. K&R

[durablend]

17. Time to impeach yet?

Or still too soon?

[Maven]

19. No, we have to pass more bills to nowhere!

(h/t to BeyondGeography for coining the phrase)

[StTimofEdenRoc]

44. 8 more weeks, just after Labor day holiday

[yaesu]

20. so, how can we harass the nazi pigs without breaking the law, any ideas? nt

[Thomas Hurt]

27. stand around them with your backs to them blocking them from others?

laugh in their faces?

make sure someone is recording in case they decide to attack you.

[CaptYossarian]

29. Then you'd be obstructing injustice.

[Thomas Hurt]

30. If they don't have a warrant, probable cause or reasonable suspicion, they shouldn't be asking

[CaptYossarian]

35. This is the Age of Trump. The Bill of Rights is just the Second Amendment

and some gibberish that some dead guys wrote. Nothing existed before the Grand Narcissist was born. That's why he laughs at the thought of impeachment. He'll be Supreme Ruler for life. And when he passes, Jr. will poison or imprison the Veep and become the new king. It'll then become Gilligan's Nation.

Don't worry about warrants, probable cause or all that other commie pinko stuff we had before 1/20/17. That's headed for the Smithsonian.

The moral of the story is that when Democrats stay home on Election Day, there are extreme consequences. We f*cked up.

[ripcord]

69. That is not exactly true

You need to read up on the 100 mile border zone. That is one of the reasons the laws need to be changed and that means taking the Senate and keeping the House.

[Thomas Hurt]

70. You are right, I forgot about that exception, thanks

[Everyman Jackal]

68. Obstructing them how?

Do you know who is standing behind you? The noise is so loud you can't hear them.

[CaptYossarian]

73. You didn't get it. Obstructing IN-justice.

I was poking fun at our criminal in the WH who makes up the rules as he goes along.

[Me.]

21. And Where Is DeBlasio?

Campaigning?

[Oppaloopa]

49. Yes where the Hell is he ??

[PatrickforO]

22. Thanks for sharing.

This is deeply troubling - a new American Gestapo. And I'm deeply concerned by these upcoming raids.

We have to save the republic by resisting tooth and nail, and by voting Dem in 2020. This must stop. The camps must be shut down. The families must be reunited. There must be no roundups. No raids. No random checks for papers on our streets.

Those who have abused the inmates with the feeble excuse that it is 'a system overwhelmed' must be charged and tried for crimes against humanity, and I'm talking about the private-for-profit shareholders of companies like GEO solutions, the private equity firms that are investing, their directors and C-suite people, the guards, the middle managers, and the people in the Trump 'administration' all the way up through Steve Miller and Trump himself.

[SCVDem]

45. Like Gitmo? nt

[PatrickforO]

46. I agitated for Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld and the rest to be

held to account for war crimes in 2009, after Obama took office and we had a Democratic majority.

Why do you suppose this was not done? I mean - you're asking the question. That means that, like me, you have thought about it. So why do you think Obama and the Democratic Party leadership of that time did not take these actions?

And, a follow up question after you've thought about this one - does there seem any difference at all in the sheer criminality of the George W Bush administration versus the Trump administration?

Because, this will come up if we win in 2020. How do you think the Democratic party leaders at that time will deal with it? Or perhaps a better question is how do you think they should deal with it?

[world wide wally]

24. This has exactly been my greatest nightmare for our country.

My country used to be...

[HockeyMom]

25. Call the Media

Take out your phones and video this. Let it go viral. What probably cause is there for random people on a street?

[ripcord]

71. The 100 mile border zone

It is Border Patrol policy that has been upheld in court, we need to get a president in office who cares enough to change this policy.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

26. I hope passersby hand them lots of habanero tacos.....

with nothing to drink.........

[Applegate]

28. Those ICE bullet heads can just fuck right off.

[tulipsandroses]

31. These are troubling times

To make it harder for immigrants overall - The Trump administration increased immigration fees. I know of immigrants that cannot afford the new fees- People who have lost their Permanent Resident Cards and cannot afford to replace them due to the Ridiculous increased fees. They've increased the fees and wait times to convert from Permanent Resident to Citizen. I would hate for them to get caught up in one of these raids and not be able to produce their documentation. You would think that they could be found in the system but with this administration - they are hell bent on violating immigrant rights and it doesn't matter if they are documented or not. The plan is to have the least amount of immigrants.

Pure evil!

[delisen]

50. Can we sustain our social security program in short term

without immigrant labor? Median age of Americans had gone from 28.1 in 1970 to 38.2 in 2018.

We will also not have laborers for infrastructure rebuild and disaster reconstruction.

[klook]

32. No sir.

[MineralMan]

36. I know that stop.

What ICE is doing is illegal. We are not required to carry papers with us as we move about freely on foot.

[aeromanKC]

37. Kristallnacht.II USA

History brought to life Reality tv style.

[byronius]

38. Perfect reference.

[woodsprite]

56. I posted about that this morning. Quite a few negative responses. nt

[Pepsidog]

39. Can't believe I'm call my government ratfuckers

[jalan48]

40. Impeachment is a waste of time though, for some.

[IronLionZion]

41. ICE is rolling up in restaurants here in downtown DC

and caught some impoverished workers who didn't know they can refuse to speak to them. You don't have to show them anything. Just peaceful restaurant workers, not gang members or anything dangerous.

No matter how much we prepare for it, it's still very startling when it happens to you.

[Roland99]

58. :(

[brooklynite]

51. Before you all get enraged...

There was no evidence provided, and no other apparent witnesses.

although Border Patrol Agents are. The NYPD has been instructed not to cooperate with ICE Agents.

59. UPDATE: WSJ - ICE *did* attempt two raids today in NYC neighborhoods

Link to tweet

Federal immigration authorities attempted raids in at least two neighborhoods in New York City on Saturday, WSJ reports, a day prior to when Trump had said ICE agents would begin national roundups of people illegally in the U.S.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/immigration-enforcement-raids-begin-in-new-york-11563062969

Federal immigration authorities attempted raids in at least two neighborhoods in New York City on Saturday, according to a person familiar with the matter, a day prior to when President Trump had said Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents would begin national roundups of people illegally in the U.S.

In New York City, ICE agents went to residences in the Harlem section of Manhattan and Brooklyn’s Sunset Park neighborhood, the person said. The agents were rejected by people at the residences because they didn’t have warrants, but plan to return at least to Sunset Park tomorrow, according to the person.

A spokeswoman for ICE in New York said that the agency won’t offer specific details related to enforcement operations. “As always, ICE prioritizes the arrest and removal of unlawfully present aliens who pose a threat to national security, public safety and border security,” the spokeswoman said.

[Captain Zero]

60. Coincidence? The Power Outages started at 7, and...

so do the ICE Raids ??

[brooklynite]

61. Yes it's a coincidence: what an idiotic assumption otherwise

[brooklynite]

62. IOW: nothing to do with the alleged subway station story

There’s enough to focus on without making up new conspiracy theories.

[UniteFightBack]

65. They should come to my neighborhood which is filled with Russians and other Eastern Euro's doubt

they are all here legally.
