It’s stories like this that make me angry that Forty-Seven is using both ICE and the Border Patrol to intimidate the American people. Every day we hear about more Americans, Native Americans, and legal immigrants being “detained” by these agents.
And even undocumented immigrants, who do have rightsare being treated as though they’ve committed serious crimes. Most people don’t realize that being undocumented is not a felony; it’s a misdemeanor. If the government truly wanted to make America safer, they could start by focusing on people actually committing felonies. But that’s not what these arrests are really about.
Instead, it’s a performance meant to scare people of any color, from any community, including white allies standing up for immigrants and people of color in the cities. The entire Forty-Seven agenda seems built around intimidation, conditioning all of us to comply without question.
Do not be intimidated!
