He was a passenger in the car when he was arrested in FL and allegedly told the cop he was in the US illegally. It’s pretty obvious the cop lied about that. He had a brown guy who doesn’t speak English and he assumed he must be illegal but had no evidence so he lied. |
I thought we had laws on profiling. |
He doesn't sound too intelligent. |
Having now read both articles, the DUI was a recent previous arrest and the mother did NOT confirm that he made the statement that he was in the U.S.illegally.
Setting aside the racial profiling involved, the worst parts about this IMHO are (1) being arrested under a law that was enjoined, and (2) the ICE 48 hour hold that remained after the charges were dropped. |
New poster. I am not going to challenge whether this is true or not because IT DOES NOT MATTER. Yes, I am shouting. Whether you are in the Trump administration or a Trump sympathizer, you need to understand a few things: 1) we are not stupid 2) irrelevant aspects do not matter Let me give an example: Your teenage college student gets drunk at a party and is a passenger in a car that gets stopped for reckless driving. Your teenage son is then sent to an ICE detention Center with no real clue why. Why does one seem impossible and yet you are okay with the other??? Guess what: we are also standing up for your frat boy when we stand up for Juan Carlos Gomez-Lopez. |
I’m sure the family is going to sue. We will be able to get the details of what was said during the legal proceedings.
Enforcing unenforceable laws is not okay. |
Thank you. |
This is what authoritarian governments do. They break the law but start with less "desirable" people. Idiots say well he deserves it because he had a DUI..as others have pointed out, that is totally irrelevant to his detention by ICE. But the government tries this over and over again until they figure out how to deport people before anyone can stop them. Then suddenly they can send anyone they want to a concentration camp in El Salvador. |

How many politicians have DUIs or history of DV ? |
Is that grounds for being held? Let's send Trump first |
+1 holy crap. Then Hegseth and his crew should be the first to be detained. |
ICE = DEPLORABLES !! 1000% |
Born in America and doesn't speak English? |
Yes, because he didn’t live here for most of his 20 years. |
