The 6-3 decision of the conservative-majority court allows agents to stops suspects based solely on their race, language or job, while a legal challenge to the recent immigration sweeps in LA works its way through the courts.
WOW. US has gone complete NAZI. WOW. This reverses 200 years of progress in human civilization.
The headline does NOT do justice to the implications. It puts into law that some people have LESS RIGHTS than others if they are NOT WHITE.
Yup. Originally, Irish and Italian immigrants weren’t white. Syrians and Arabs have always been white though, because as they argued in court, if they weren’t white, neither was Jesus. So that case ended quickly.
First off I absolutely disagree with the decision 100%, but that’s not exactly what it said. What it said was that race could be taken into account among other things like location, employment type, etc. The result is the same of course, people being disappeared off the street for being brown. I just don’t like dishonest reporting.
This is also only an interim decision that only officially applies to operations in Los Angeles for the duration of that litigation and further appeals (e.g. 1-2 years). There was no opinion or explanation on how this ruling comports with existing 4A and 5A case law.

Umm… I’m not sure how long you’ve studied US History but non white have always had less rights. Just not always written explicitly so.

Is the Syrian/Arab thing true? Where can I learn more?
RIP US Democracy (aged 1965 or so to 1980 something). We hardly knew ye.
I like your username!
For you today was the day that it put into law that some people have less rights than others if they are not white.
For America it was Monday.
Not “the US.” the Trump-appointed courts, Trump-led executive, and Republican legislature.
The majority of the US hate this shit.
So, maybe “the current Republican US government,” but not “the US”
This has been going on since the end of slavery. If America hated this shit it stop and frisk never would’ve existed.
Most ppl in this country don’t give a shit about anything until it happens to them
Stop and Frisk is legal in the U.S. Same policy, just different targetsa.
