US citizen arrested by ICE in Minneapolis because he 'looks Somali'

Story by Olivia Ireland

American man was dragged out of a restaurant, forcibly arrested, and detained for two hours by masked federal immigration officers, according to reports.

…

Due to Mubashir’s refusal to have his picture taken, he was in the car for almost an hour. The agents also tried to take his fingerprints; however, their machine was not working.

Mubashir said the officers drove him to the ICE detention facility at Fort Snelling, a 17-minute drive from where he was arrested. He claimed the officers were lost and did not know their surroundings.

“They kept going back on the same highway. I told them, ‘are you guys lost?; they said, ‘this is our first time taking someone in’. They had their maps out and everything and they were trying to intimidate me,” he said.

Once they arrived, the officers kept him outside until he agreed to have his face scanned; however, like the first machine, the second machine was not working, so he was brought inside.

18. Here this might help reducing the lumping...

Good enough for the American Fascist Party.

Also, this:
Close enough for horseshoes, hand grenades, and fascist bullies.

13. That's a very old joke.

I've used it myself since I heard it in the late sixties when I was in the Marine Corps. After I separated, I studied music and started using "Close enough for jazz" instead. I never intended for either to be belittling of anyone or anything except maybe obsessive perfectionists. Nor, I'm confident, did anyone around me. It was from the jazz people that I got the second version.

15. A "Kavanaugh Stop" courtesy of the sinister six.

What is a ‘Kavanaugh stop’?
The name derives from a September ruling by the Supreme Court, which by a 6-3 vote lifted a lower-court order barring immigration agents in Los Angeles from stopping people based solely on several factors, including race.
What did Kavanaugh say?
He said it was constitutionally permissible—and indeed “common sense”—to target people due to “apparent ethnicity” combined with other factors, such as speaking Spanish or being at a car wash or bus stop. Being stopped on such grounds is a minor inconvenience, wrote Kavanaugh; any questioning is “typically brief” and U.S. citizens and legal residents will “promptly go free.” Immigration lawyers and rights groups reacted with alarm to the ruling. The court “greenlit racial profiling,” said Jennifer Bade, an immigration attorney in Boston. “This effectively makes us a ‘show your papers’ nation where appearance and language is going to make everyone a suspect.”

Keystone cop ICE agents. This would be funny if the whole thing wasn't so disgusting.
