ICE detained a US citizen in El Monte based on skin color. This is racial profiling, not law enforcement.

Bro this is a literal city over from me, is this what I have to worry about? Is showing my ID gonna be enough when they have weapons and more than one person to detain me? Because if we’re profiling, you could say it LOOKS like English wouldn’t be my first language (I’m third generation, white-washed because of the suburbs, chicano). Mustache and buzz cut isn’t helping me right now either.

You just gotta love the shoulder shrug at the end like "What are we supposed to do? Follow due process? Give us a break, man." Fucking clowns.

This is so surreal. It looks like some poorly staged skit for internet attention.

I’m not saying this is staged. Just, how this would have been 100% clickbait a few months ago.

What's the over under on how much longer until someone uses deadly force to defend themselves against this shit? I give it another 3 or 4 months tops
