Throwing US citizens in jail for days seems to be considered by Brett Kavanaugh as brief questioning where the individuals "may promptly go free after making clear to the immigration officers that they are U. S. citizens or otherwise legally in the United States". And this sort of stuff doesn't happen according to Kristi Noem.

They went to Taco Bell. Clearly they were born here and not in Mexico.
Send this to everyone who says people have nothing to worry about if they're in the country legally
She's wasn't even "in the country legally" she is a fucking natural born citizen. She committed the crime of brownness

Hey, FreshParsnip, I'd just like to point out that JoeBigelow wasn't really contradicting your original comment (the one I'm replying to) but rather they were amplifying it. Their point was to emphasize the racism of ICE against her "crime of brownness."
Not only was she "in the country legally," she also has the further rights and responsibilities of being a citizen. For instance, she can vote for for President. Beyond that, being a birthright citizen, she can run for the office and BE President.
A "legal resident," according to federal statutes, is defined as a person who has met certain legal requirements and received papers entitling them to live here, but cannot legally vote, or serve on a jury, or some other rights reserved for citizens.
JoeBigelow could definitely have used better syntax, or stuck a "just" in there after "even".
And your original point, about ICE being a danger to everyone regardless of how many rights they're supposed to have, is perfect. They're fascist thugs.
But your anger is misdirected. Save it for the real enemy.
And now you should minimize Joe's comment, because that thread is actively painful to read. This is a fine summary and all you want to know about that comment chain.
“I kept shouting at them that she was from here, but they wouldn’t listen to me,” the younger sister recalled. Shirley said the stop and her sister’s arrest seemed like racial discrimination: “I showed them our identifications, and they didn’t pay me any attention, they went straight to my sister because she’s darker than me.”
This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.
Hey man, dont judge me, i had to make absolutely no impact on a situation halfway across the world while making my own country much worse.
I think youll find i did a great job.
/s
I disagree. This is what protest-non-voters failed to vote against.
Saying that they voted for this is implying that it is what they wanted. It is not the same thing as not carefully considering the potential outcomes. I agree that they bear some responsibility for what's happening because of their failure to engage in the best course of action to prevent it. I do also think it is very much an inaccurate statement to say that it is what they voted for.
Put simply, intent matters. It doesn't matter if the material outcome is the same.
something tells me dulce consuela diaz morales wouldn't give a shit about their intents.
trust me, the history books will not care about anyone's intents either, just the material outcome they enabled.
“complicit” is the word

If they eat Taco Bell they must definitely be real Americans.
More claiming of fake birth certificates for people who aren't white enough. Same shit has been happening for people born along the Texas border, because only Latino people can lie about birth certificates apparently.
Trump did the same thing to Obama 17 years ago.

~~Most Hispanics voted for this.~~
Almost half of Hispanics voted for this!
Yea, I dont understand the political split. Democrats "claim" Hispanics, but Hispanics are conservative Catholics and against anything Pro Choice. Republicans are racist and dream of doing fascist stuff like this ... yet half the Hispanics voted for them.
Something something big cats .. something something face eating.
Corrected to almost half. Still insane that so many voted for Trump, and that Trump broke the Republican record for Latino votes!?!?
It doesn't if you know Latino culture, they like the manly man steretype that Trump somehow fostered by popping off bullshit.

Everything in society is dependent on people doing what they are supposed to, to serve whatever role their place in that system is. When they can freely not do that, they do whatever they want, and then we stop having society because nobody serves the roles that are needed to have one. Then the authoritarians get annoyed people aren't doing whats needed for them to have a society to be in control of and start beating everyone into compliance. And they have to keep doing that because their system is shit and nobody wants it that way but them.
This is why people get confused, because they think authoritarianism is some strong man saying “you can’t do this, you can’t do that”
There’s a quote about how authoritarianism isnt someone saying “you can’t” but instead it’s someone saying “you may”
- You may ignore this law
- You may jail these people
- You may disregard due process
That’s the real danger, when rights and law are replaced with the whims and favor of a despot.
