šØBREAKING: ICE agents kidnapped a U.S. citizen, while he was grabbing coffee, in Maryland.
Samuel GuzmĆ”n repeatedly told agents he was born in the United States. He even offered to show his ID⦠and they didnāt 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 āreallyā from, for 2 hours, and refused to let him call anyone.
Then, once they realized he was a U.S. citizen⦠they let him go without explaining why he was detained.
The Fourth Amendment protects people from unreasonable searches and seizuresā¦. ICE agents donāt get to kidnap someone, from a coffee shop parking lot, without reasonable suspicion or probable cause.
The Fifth Amendment guarantees due processā¦. 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 canāt target people simply because of their race, ethnicity, or the language they speak.
If youāre okay with constitutional rights disappearing the moment someone has the wrong last name, or skin colorā¦
You were never defending law and order.
