This was the position of the Trump administration and its border hawk allies, who have determined that there is no violation of civil liberties they won’t condone as long as the American citizen has family members from Mexico or Central America.
Tuesday evening, Francisco Galicia, 18, was released after nearly a month-long imprisonment in Texas, first in a Customs and Border Patrol (CPB) detention center and then in the custody of the Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE). The crime that he committed? Riding in a car while Latino, in the company of an undocumented immigrant. -snip
Welcome to Trump's America.
