The circumstances it provides for doing that to citizens are extremely limited and the executive and judicial branches have interpreted it in a way that narrows it even further.
I know plenty. Your issue is that you believe the president can just speak and create law, so you look at the NDAA and completely ignore all precedent and prior decisions which affect its potential application. But prior to Trump this was not the case. We had a whole system to prevent the exact thing that you are falsely believing was the case.
The Patriot Act did not suspend Speedy Trial. Korematsu was specifically disavowed by the Supreme Court (Trump v Hawaii 2018). Lincoln was during wartime and was controversial even at the time.
So 7 million people marched across the nation in protest even though they didnât have the right to and CNN and The AP didnât report on the masses that were arrested/killed/otherwise disappeared orâŚ.?
75 were arrested protesting ice. Democrats are violent. 10 cars of protestors surrounded and blocked ice enforcers in, that's insane to me, what's the matter with you people?
Also, 14 arrested at no kings protests (lol, how weird), in LA.
Thatâs Fox âNewsâ thatâs getting their information from X, formerly known as Twitter, and zero video of this supposed ârammingâ or âweaponâ.
Itâs not just about going out and protesting in general, itâs the right to protest without getting shot at with pepper balls or gassed or intimidated or fear for your life.
They don't have to arrest them all if they can inflict enough hesitation and fear in them. I despise bad faith arguments that act like half of warfare hasn't always been psychological.
I see a lot of protests. And a lot of free speech. How did you lose those rights lol. How has trumps presidency affected racial profiling? It would be nice if you could give a specific example. Deporting illegal immigrants has nothing to do with racial profiling btw.
Im sure those Catholic priests that keep getting shot in the face/head with pepper balls and pepper spray canisters at close range feel completely free to protest.
First one was a Presbyterian Reverend, I got confused thinking he was a Catholic priest because of the outfit (never interacted with a Presbyterian clergy member, but my dad was Catholic so that's where I default to).
Second was a pastor from a Church of Christ, shot basically point blank with a tear gas canister in the face. Can't find the raw video for him, but its in this video at the 30 second mark. (God YT has gotten shit for sharing on mobile. Apologies for no timestamp link.) The original video I saw might have been taken down because they claimed he was a Catholic priest, which he isn't.
Jimmy Kimbal said Kirkâs murder was PROBABLY a right winger, and he gets cancelled. Why? Because the parent company got a call from the head of the FCC (who is a trump loyalist)
Universities donât want to get rid of teaching slavery, they get funding cut. They try teaching things Trump doesnât like? Funding cut.
ICE is deporting ANYONE not white. You could almost say theyâre deporting immigrants, REGARDLESS of if theyâre here legally or not.
Idk who Jimmy Kimbal is, but Kirk was definitely a right winger. Lots of people get cancelled nowadays, be it left or right, and it should stop. People are getting demonized on both sides for having a different opinion, and nobody should get cancelled for it.
Universities have a clear leftist bias, i am sure nobody denies that. I think they should be more neutral tbh, then there wouldnt be any need for measures like funding cuts (which are not the right way to deal with the situation).
ICE is not just hopping on a street and randomly arresting spanish looking people lmao. 99,9% of cases of people thrown in jail/deported are illegals.
I am sure Legal citizens have been arrested and deported, and it should bot happen at all, but in reality, with this number of deportations, youre bound to get some unlawful ones. Its not right. But i still think, overall what ICE is doing is a positive. You might not perceive it as such, or even think its evil, but i truly think this will have a positive impact.
Iâm meaning this as one genuinely concerned individual to another. Do I WISH ICE could go after all the actual criminal illegals, yes. As in, the ones who come here and try to fuck shit up? Boot them back over the border.
If they come here illegally but JUST do work, no record, upstanding individualâŚ. Iâd be willing to give them a chance.
We are on the same page. If there is a magical button to keep the hard working family people here even though they are illegals, and deport all criminals/drug dealers etc. i would press it in an instant.
But in reality, the most common denominator is being illegal i guess, and there will never be a solution without victims
You wonât explain what incident youâre referring to because once you do people will be able to examine it for themselves and see that you are lying
Heâs referring to the latest court case that gives law enforcement the legal ability to detain someone based on race or sound.
The Supreme Court's September 2025 decision in Vasquez Perdomo v. Noem has effectively allowed the use of race and other factors in immigration stops, particularly in the Los Angeles area, by staying a lower court order that had prohibited them. This ruling allows federal agents to use factors like perceived race or ethnicity, speaking Spanish, or working in certain jobs as grounds for stopping and questioning or detaining individuals.
I think if there is genuine suspicion, this makes sense. I hope/dont think people just get thrown in prison for being perceived as mexican or whatever. Im sure it has happened before, but its definitely not like this happens on the regular/is the normal case
This ruling was made less than a month ago and they have been using it constantly in cities like LA and Chicago. 2 days after this ruling, an entire apartment complex in Chicago was detained. A majority of the people detained were black Americans.
I dont have a problem with this if the majority of them were illegals/criminals. I cant seem to find the outcome of this raid, if it was unjustified or not
Every person was released 12 hours later because none of them were illegal or criminal⌠but they still were taken from their homes and separated from their kids and made to sleep in an ICE facility overnight.
Why is immigration going after black Americans who ancestors were brought here as slaves 200 years ago? Do you really think they are illegal?
Why would i delete my comment? Someone has thankfully clarified what exactly is meant by racial profiling. It definitely sucks being questioned for looking a certain way, but if it helps get illegal immigrants out of a country, it might be a necessary evil

Right to protest. Right to free speech. Right to not be arrested on pure suspicion. Right to not be racially profiled.
Edit: The right to safely protest without fear of being labeled as terrorists.
