Where’s the “just come to the states the right way” people? Oh wait, those are the same people who signed up to cosplay in ICE uniforms
This shit happens all the time. It’s fucking terrifying and infuriating.
Nothing says small government like jailing people because of the color of their skin.
It’s almost like it’s by design.
Says it right in the article that she is spanish speaking. So why all this confusion?
Edit: /s. Ugh
Fucking checkpoints in residential areas?!
Hey Trumpies! Tell the class how freaking *psyched* you’re going to be when the nice man approaches you and demands “Papers, please.”
Fuck ICE
Louisiana has a history of racism, and it likes to rotate which group to target. I do not miss the state.
Obviously this situation is still wrong but there’s a little bit more to it.
From the article…
*”The woman was incorrectly assigned an Alien Registration number in 2022 when she entered the U.S. from Mexico and presented a Mexican ID at the border.”*
*”At the time, she was appointed a lawyer who told her that since she was a U.S. citizen, her immigration case would be dropped. Yet somehow, the case appears to have proceeded without her knowledge or involvement. An immigration judge in New Orleans issued a final order of removal in January 2024.”*
It sounds like there were several screw-ups involved.
If people whose job is to enforce law and order refuse to arrest ANYONE who violates laws and/or the constitution, it falls to citizens to take matters into their own hands to fill the void.
i hope she sues ice and lafayette sheriff’s deputies and the city of Lafayette as well
The next dem prez candidate will win my vote by sending a revamped ice to maga-land to round everyone up. We need to be sure they’re not terrorists
“Why aren’t tourists coming here?”
Gee. Can’t imagine why. 🙄
Every person that has been wrongfully detained by ICE should submit a claim for Trump’s slush fund.
They’ve already said our state and federally issued documents mean nothing. They’re operating completely on feels.
Brown shirts at it again
This is exactly what MAGA voted for and why one is correct to call them Nazis.
They’re gearing up for ICE to become a domestic army whose purpose is to oppress the civilian population and mindlessly carry out the whims of Trump, Constitution be damned.
Is this how ICE will help with voting? Arresting citizens to keep them from voting?
We must stand up for our rights before it’s to late
ICE don’t read
Sue!!!

My wife just asked me why we only hear about citizens being arrested, so I told her the news reports human interest stories while the administration publishes numbers. She asked why again, so I reminded her that the news that Jeff Bezos owns publishes “fake news” stories in opposition to the President that Jeff Bezos elected. She’s still confused.
Police state.
Sounds like a $1.8B lawfare fund claim to me
ICE jails are going to be filled with ICE, before this is all done.
Crazy, that’s just crazy. Yet, nothing will happen. We live in Nazi Germany.
Checkpoint? In America? And we just accept this?
When this shit started several Trumpkins assured me that you just need to show your papers and this will be fine.
Of course having to show your papers is fascistic to begin with but apparently even that isn’t enough.
Cool, now she gets to win a law suit, it’ll probably just end up being a substantial settlement, and we the tax payers will cover it!
***WINNING!***
If you listen to the grassroots fascists, whether in America or Britain, you’ll quickly see that it’s not about immigration control and never was.
At the Tommy Robinson “take back Britain” march in London recently, it was all about 1976, Eric Clapton-style “keep Britain white, w—gs out now, c—ns out now”. (No intent to offend: just quoting Eric Clapton channeling Enoch Powell.
America’s duly elected government has gone full Nazi. And remarkably, the head Nazi is a Jew from California (for now).
Summer Olympics are going to be interesting.
Just going after the bad guys again…
My cousin is full Native. Showed them his Apache Nation ID card, state ID card and his social security card, ICE still arrested him and held him for 3 days. If you are brown there is no stopping them. We have to get people out to vote these assholes out of office.
MAGA are f**king nazis
I hate Nazis
“…at a checkpoint in a residential area of Lafayette.”
That America has fallen so far that we’ll tolerate checkpoints like this is itself disgusting.
What is the fucking point of an ID anymore?
Fascists don’t care about rules.
They do whatever they want.
I don’t think you need to graduate high school to be an ICE agent…
Remember, their then lawyer had a public crashout on how they kept making her job harder because they dont know how to follow the law.
If you’re a legal resident and ICE is going to send you to a rape camp anyway, might as well look into what is legally available to you.

Whoa whoa this isn’t some clear cut case here and there was a bad mix up which they eventually got right. So great to all those involved!
From the atrticle as to how shitty this situation was:
“The woman was incorrectly assigned an Alien Registration number in 2022 when she entered the U.S. from Mexico and presented a Mexican ID at the border.
At the time, she was appointed a lawyer who told her that since she was a U.S. citizen, her immigration case would be dropped. Yet somehow, the case appears to have proceeded without her knowledge or involvement. An immigration judge in New Orleans issued a final order of removal in January 2024.”
She literally had orders for removal under Biden’s immigration system in January 2024!
BTW I hate Trump and all the fascist nazis can talk shit to me but this is just an unfortunate situation that got resolved. This is how the system is supposed to work.
She is coloured and ICE agents are illiterate and incompetent. Luckily these racially profiled encounters only are very short the SCOTUS majority assured us…
i smell law suits
You know who else had checkpoints to check papers? Stalin and Hitler. Good going MAGA chuds!
