It's not OK to treat immigrants this way either. Drawing the distinction exposes the racism of the whole endeavor of boarder control; that Americans are just better people.

These tactics were developed to deal with drug cartels and gangs, not cleaning ladies and cashiers. (The tactics don't work on cartels or gangs either)

Ladies and gentlemen, Justice Kavanaugh's solo concurrence from Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo:

Immigration stops based on reasonable suspicion of illegal presence have been an important component of U. S. immigration enforcement for decades, across several presidential administrations. In this case, however, the District Court enjoined U. S. immigration officers from making investigative stops in the Los Angeles area when the stops are based on the following factors or combination of factors: (i) presence at particular locations such as bus stops, car washes, day laborer pickup sites, agricultural sites, and the like; (ii) the type of work one does; (iii) speaking Spanish or speaking English with an accent; and (iv) apparent race or ethnicity.

...

Under this Court’s precedents, not to mention common sense, those circumstances taken together can constitute at least reasonable suspicion of illegal presence in the United States. Importantly, reasonable suspicion means only that immigration officers may briefly stop the individual and inquire about immigration status. If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter. Only if the person is illegally in the United States may the stop lead to further immigration proceedings.

"Immigration crackdown"

Actually...

Public show of fascism

I think it’s closer to tens of thousands… Oh right, the brown ones don’t count.

This is just the beginning. You'll get a knock on your door at midnight, for something you said on a defunct political website in 1997.

If one is 'held at gunpoint' and survives, then they're a gun survivor. The words we choose to describe violent encounters, matter.

Just 500? Expected it to be larger

Just call it what it is: traumatized gunpoint survivors of fascism raids.

What a Watergate scenario this is, innit?

These are all cases confirmed by Propublica, now think about how high the number actually is.

And how many have been publicly executed by anonymous masked agents?

Kidnapped

So had their constitution rights grossly violated with zero accountability or recompense?

You know shits bad when my first reaction was relief because I thought it would be more.

TREASON

Nobody should be detained regardless of "citizenship".
