    This is not that far off. There was a recent lawsuit about the LA roundup of immigrants, arguing they were profiled based on race and language.

    The judge ordered that, when conducting such operations, the government must stop relying on factors such as race, ethnicity, speaking Spanish, speaking English with an accent, presence at a particular location, or type of work. (emphasis mine)

    In addition, after Alligator Alcatraz (Auschwitz) opened, Laura Loomer tweeted

    “Alligator lives matter. The good news is, alligators are guaranteed 65 million meals if we get started now.”

    There are 65 million Hispanic people in the US.

    These are very real threats. Right now they’re still showing restraint in who they round up, but the day is coming when they will openly start kidnapping people you know. This must stop. Americans need to organize and resist.

      “a judge ordered” is not worth the paper it’s printed on, these days.
