    If you’re an American citizen in a red state, that looks visibly Mexican/South American and speaks fluent Spanish, you should lean into this! Go put on a serape, a sombrero, some chanclas and sell tamales or tortillas in front of the local mall right now while singing “Feliz navidad” - just be the full, lead-huffing boomer racist fantasy caricature. Get arrested and then get yourself a FAT settlement for civil rights violations… while we still have courts and judges who don’t have spray tan stains on their white collared robes.

      This is a terrible idea.

      Cops are completely immune and there is little to no chance the courts would uphold any civil rights violations under Dictator Trump

        Criminally they’re shielded by qualified immunity for a lot of things, civilly there’s more leeway there and taxpayers to be fleeced.

        Sure, the cop is shielded, and will not pay a penny. The taxpayers on the other hand…

        That’s more than my yearly salary though so… 🤷🏽‍♀️ No, but that’s absolutely horrendous what he went through.

        I mean cops being defunded by thousands of US citizens wrongfully detained and deported doesn’t sound so bad

      You think everyone being deported is gonna get due process?

        I don’t actually. Read the last sentence. Try to start from a place of unity instead of division in your replies, friend.

      About that. They’re expanding Gitmo.

      They love their racist caricatures though. You know: to point to and reinforce prejudices. Hell, that strategy is more likely to land a position with the GOP than detained.
