Make that fascism guidance.
Using the shadow docket, the Supreme Court set aside a restraining order preventing ICE officers in Los Angeles from violating Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable search and seizure. ICE agents can continue to decide which people to stop and detain for questioning based solely on one or more of four factors that a lower-court judge had deemed unconstitutional.
Those factors are a person's apparent race or ethnicity; the fact that they speak English with an accent or speak Spanish; their presence at certain locations like farms, construction sites, or pickup sites for day laborers; and the type of work they do. Racial profiling is alive and well.

I know that everyone here is aware of the situation, but I don't think it hurts to point out what the reality is every now and then.

(12,802 posts)is sad vision. What about all those White Russian mafia and the Chinese mafia? Can you see our fat out of shape ICE officers confronting them? How many of these ICE goons have been shot or wounded? Zero. Yet they still dress like they are in a war zone. Talk about fake hoaxes eh?

(9,722 posts)I occasionally get that notice with postimage files and assume that the image is therefore not visible to anyone. In this case I am still able to view the image. You might try refreshing the post. If that doesn't work...the image is a cartoonized version of the justices posing for a formal picture in their robes. The six Republican justices are also wearing dark gaiter masks. the caption is "When you can't wear your white hoods after Labor Day."
