Do your own work.

Why not just get me banned?

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Yes. I am. So just get me banned. Do it. Or will you not?

Why not just get me banned?

You should stop, you're just on here to flame. It's tiresome

Just shut up. Your charade is over. Seriously what's your little game? Bored is my guess

Why do you take stuff so seriously? Go ahead and request me to be banned. Will you? Please inform me when you do.

Pay out a couple of hundred thousand then move on. It is that easy.

Case Closed If the Border Isn't

It is his patriotic duty to refrain from anything that might obstruct the uninhibited enforcement of national law. Selfishness is the opposite of loyalty.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

Shit happens. I'd say 5 grand should cover his mental suffering. Next.

Give him an autographed picture of El Chapo instead

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

Id say 50.grand

I'd say Rio Grande

“I got arrested twice for being a Latino working in construction,” says Leo Garcia Venegas, the lead plaintiff in a new lawsuit filed by the Institute for Justice challenging warrantless ICE raids on construction sites.

“An Alabama construction worker is challenging the Trump administration's warrantless construction site raids after he says he was arrested and detained by federal immigration agents—twice—despite being a U.S. citizen with a valid ID in his pocket.

In a federal civil rights lawsuit filed today in the Southern District of Alabama, Leo Garcia Venegas is seeking to stop "dragnet raids" that target Latinos like himself, without any probable cause besides their ethnicity.”

ICE arrested a U.S. citizen—twice—during Alabama construction site raids. Now he's suing.

Arresting US citizens for no other reason than being Hispanic – classic rightwing authoritarianism.

Further proof that Trump’s immigration policy is motivated by racism, bigotry, and hate – having nothing to do with deporting criminals.

And he sues and wins, you want a cookie?

 

[TimFitz]

He cannot sue to stop the detention of illegals. His cause of action belongs to himself.

he most certainly can sue over the repeated violation of his civil rights.
his is hardly the only case.

When you have an army of hastily recruited and poorly trained thugs running around challenging people at random to produce their papers, or raiding whole apartment complexes with no trace of probable cause or a warrant, you can expect this.

A nice settlement or payoff will be nice.

Trying to laugh off thuggery is not a good look. Not even for a Trumpster.

Arresting US citizens for no other reason than being Hispanic – classic rightwing authoritarianism.

Arresting Trump for no other reason than being republican – classic leftwing authoritarianism. There I fixed it for you.

his civil rights weren't violated, the police had RAS for the brief dentention. The OP is wrong, he was never actually arrested.

He was in the company of invaders. He had it coming.

Don't worry some leftist district judge will sign off on stopping all raids because of this.

Not laughing it off, I don’t take the poster I responded to as sincere and responded in kind.

SCROTUS Interpreted the Constitution as Giving It the Right to Interpret the Constitution

It is unpatriotic to allow judicial review to remain in effect. It has never been anything but tyranny over the will of the majority.

Electing people who would appoint better judges has never worked out as planned. That is undeniable, so why continue to allow them any power except trying cases, not laws or executive orders?

Is there a lot of "cavorting" on construction sites?

Who knows? I know they have disdain for white Americans that are hiring them and paying their salaries.

Had a relative building a new house because theirs tragically burnt down. She hired a local contractor, he hired hispanics to work on the job site. She had nothing but problems with the quality of the workmanship, including foundation issues. They also didn't know she spoke spanish, when visiting the site one day, they called her and her daughter ugly whores and were laughing. She told them in spanish that this ugly whore pays your salary and that they were fired. It's not like every illegal coming here is some altruistic, loving person who has just had a hard time and is looking for honest work, I'd say most of them are probably not anything of the sort.
