Trump officials accused of false imprisonment and ‘unconstitutional racial profiling’ over incident in LA
The mother of a 15-year-old boy who was detained at gunpoint by federal immigration agents is seeking $1m in damages and accusing the Trump administration of false imprisonment and “unconstitutional racial profiling”.
The teenager, a US citizen with disabilities, was in a vehicle with his mother outside Arleta high school in Los Angeles on 11 August when masked immigration agents surrounded them and pulled them from the vehicle. They said the boy was a suspect in a crime, and handcuffed him for several minutes until they realized they had the wrong person, the Los Angeles Times reported.
His mother told NBC4 that the agent told her son they had confused him with someone else, but to “look at the bright side: you’re gonna have an exciting story to tell your friends when you go back to school”.
“What’s exciting about getting guns pointed at you?” she said.
I think there’s more than a few south american and middle eastern countries who would say there’s no argument. Also black ppl and natives would agree
Sure, but now it’s not really arguable for the “white countries”.
It’s a lot harder for Canada to turn and look away than it was 20 years ago.
are bad things only unarguably bad when they happen to white people?
I didn’t realize so many white people were being deported, arrested, or sent to concentration camps.
I think i misunderstood your original comment, my bad 😅
Yeah it was meant as “the US has been doing bad things to non-white people but now that it’s so open and bad, the other majority white countries can’t just turn a blind eye like they do when we bomb the middle east”
Well, now that things are cleared up, have a pleasant day! 😊
