๐จBREAKING: ICE agents kidnapped a U.S. citizen, while he was grabbing coffee, in Maryland.
Samuel Guzmรกn repeatedly told agents he was born in the United States. He even offered to show his IDโฆ and they didnโt believe him.
Instead, they took his phone, wallet, and keys, shoved him in their car, illegally transported him to another location, questioned him about where he was โreallyโ from, for 2 hours, and refused to let him call anyone.
Then, once they realized he was a U.S. citizenโฆ they let him go without explaining why he was detained.
The Fourth Amendment protects people from unreasonable searches and seizuresโฆ. ICE agents donโt get to kidnap someone, from a coffee shop parking lot, without reasonable suspicion or probable cause.
The Fifth Amendment guarantees due processโฆ. Holding someone against their will while refusing to tell them why, or denying them access to contact anyone, is a constitutional violation.
And the Equal Protection principles mean the government canโt target people simply because of their race, ethnicity, or the language they speak.
If youโre okay with constitutional rights disappearing the moment someone has the wrong last name, or skin colorโฆ
You were never defending law and order.
