Juan Carlos Lopez Gomez, a United States citizen, was arrested in Florida for allegedly being in the country illegally and held for pickup by immigration authorities, even after his mother showed a judge her son’s birth certificate and the judge dismissed charges.
I’m waiting for this to happen to a white parson who has an Hispanic name, like Rafael “Ted” Cruz.
If a journalist can do a human interest piece on a white parson sent to El Salvador or at least sent into the ICE black hole where the rule of law doesn’t exist, maybe that would drive the point home to “libertarians” and “small government conservatives.” Maybe it’s time to see past petty racism and see what’s at stake in the long term.
It won’t. But it’ll probably happen to a “liberal terrorist.” I expect the lack of consequences will make mundane things like organizing a one-way ticket to a nazi prison.
