The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court earlier this month to stay a federal judge’s order that had limited immigration agents in the Los Angeles area from stopping, questioning and detaining people based on factors that included their “apparent ethnicity,” language and place of work.
The case could determine whether immigration agents can rely on factors including a person’s “apparent ethnicity” or speaking Spanish, as part of the “reasonable suspicion” standard that permits immigration stops.
Literally criminalizing being a minority
Worse: criminalizing the appearance of being a non-citizen. A whole lot of us are about to look Canadian.
Born in Texas, routinely mistaken for a Canadian my whole life.
I don’t live in America anymore, so good luck, everyone.
Let me know if y’all need any Canada pins 😂
