Targeted because of a Mexican flag sticker. It's hard to believe that's legal. Not that being legal is a constraint for our current government.

I think profiling is explicitly illegal, isn’t it?. Unfortunately, legality matters not without consequences.

This is illegal. Mexican flag bumper sticker does not create reasonable suspicion of anything to justify a Terry stop.

A court slapped an injunction on ICE operations in Los Angeles for exactly this kind of profiling. And arrests dropped as a result.

Can't do it. My wife is a legal brown immigrant. If masked men approach the car, there will be a firefight and I will die.

Y'all that can do this, DO IT.
