🚨Another day, another video of ICE/Border Patrol agents illegally detaining a U.S. citizen, in Escondido, CA.
In the video, a group of masked agents racially profile and surround someone walking outside a building… demanding they prove their citizenship.
And for those who don’t know…
You do not have to “prove” your citizenship to federal agents just for existing in public. That’s not how the Constitution works.
The Fourth Amendment protects you from unreasonable searches and seizures… which includes being stopped, surrounded, and interrogated without reasonable suspicion of a crime.
And no… “you look like an immigrant” is not reasonable suspicion. That’s racial profiling.
But, it gets worse…
When the agents realize someone is watching, they move their truck to BLOCK the view.
And everyone needs to ask themselves why?
If everything they’re doing is legal… why are they hiding it?
The person filming drives around to keep eyes on the situation… and points out that the agents don’t even have license plates on their truck…
Then, the agents let the person go, because there was never a legal basis to detain them in the first place.
That’s the part people need to understand…
This isn’t “law enforcement.”
This is intimidation… fishing for compliance… hoping people don’t know their rights.
This is what it looks like when federal agents believe constitutional rights are optional.
And once some lose their constitutional rights, we all do.
