News4: 'Just following Hispanic people': Citizen detained by ICE questions vote for Trump

Quote
Jensy Machado said he is a U.S. citizen and provided News4 documentation of his legal status.

Machado said he was driving to work Wednesday with two other men when he was stopped by ICE agents on Lomond Drive in Manassas, a short distance from his home. He said he was confused by what was happening, why agents surrounded the pickup truck.

...

“They didn’t ask me for any ID,” Machado said. “I was telling the officer, if I can give him ID, but he said just keep my hands up, not moving. After that, he told me to get out of the car and put the handcuffs on me. And then he went to me and said how did I get into this country and if I was waiting for a court date or if I have any case. And I told him I was an American citizen, and he looked at his other partner like, you know, smiling, like saying, can you believe this guy? Because he asked the other guy, ‘Do you believe him?’”

...

Machado said he was uncuffed and immediately released after showing his driver’s license.

The two men with him were taken into custody. He does not know why.

...

“Because, like I said, I was a Trump supporter,” he said. “I voted for Trump last election, but, because I thought it was going to be the things, you know, like, … just go against criminals, not every Hispanic looking, like, that they will assume that we are all illegals.”

“That’s what they’re doing, now,” Machado said. “They’re just following Hispanic people.”

But we are constantly told that none of this is about race. Illegal = Hispanic and that is how conservatives have always thought.

You can acknowledge Dems' social liberalism is extremely toxic while also having little sympathy for people like this that voted for Trump. Trump never hid the charlatan/idiocy that he was, people just moronically ascribed whatever views they think Trump has onto him.

This actually has nothing to do with Democrats but people like you not ready for that conversation.

At the end of the day, I highly doubt this guy ever trusted Trump on immigration and believed his movement is fundamentally bad for people like him. The central challenge is that a lot of Latinos decided that even though Democrats are better Latinos that Trump is better for their pocketbooks and that his presidency would be just like his first term.

They're going to regret voting for Trump.

You all cannot keep the Democratic Party's name out of your mouths. The imaginary fairy tales you have created that Democrats are an evil force looking destroy the country have influenced voters.

But when a random Republican lawmaker proposes banning gay marriage the refrain is "THAT'S ONE PERSON HE DOESN'T SPEAK FOR THE GOP STOP POSTING THESE THREADS BECAUSE RANDOM PEOPLE DON'T MATTER!".

With that said defunding the police was never a core plank in the Democratic platform. What you have been pushing is nonsense that Democrats are forcing children in schools to transition and that is the sort of conspiracy trash that low information voters fell for. Not to mention the idiocy that the President can lower grocery prices.

Frankly it’s amazing Harris did as well as she did with her past atrocious stands. If she was running against another non-retarded Republican we probably would’ve been looking at a 1988 wave.

I voted for Harris. It’s not me you need convincing. It s the 50% of Americans that voted for Trump even after everything he did.

There does seem to be more to the story (someone gave ICE the wrong address).  But, ICE obviously did something wrong here that contributed to the suffering of an American citizen.  I don't agree with mass deportations, but it's also somewhat disingenuous to say that this is a regular happening and not a terrible (but likely isolated) failure to follow due process.

I would have personally paid for transgender prison surgeries or whatever the f**k that nonsense is about if the alternative is this deranged incompetent corrupt moron as president. I could not care less.

Again, Murc's Law. This person made a really bad choice and is seeing what happens when that choice manifested into reality. It has nothing to do with grievances about the Democratic Party. I cannot unscrew the top of Trump voters' heads and drop brains into them. They will either have to learn or they will follow him down into hell.

There's no reason to believe this is an isolated incident. Even if you get these ICE agents the benefit of the doubt and don't assume that anyone who wants that job is a sadistic person who loves the idea of crushing people's dreams, the power disparity is going to affect them psychologically, basically the Stanford Prison Experiment in real life.

Even if they're not "supposed" to be just rounding up Hispanics and lazily arresting them without checking, it's what's was always going to happen.

Is it isolated, though?

It seems pretty clear that ICE's new strategy, now that Biden's supposed failure to deport criminals and control the border was a hoax, is to just go into neighborhoods and harass people with accents to juice the deportation numbers up. This has already been documented on a number of occasions.

They sent dozens of people in full SWAT gear to arrest an unarmed old man dying of cancer who had been in the country for 40 years.

It's Trump's signature non-issue. Of course many innocent people are going to get caught up in the hysteria.

They are very clearly racially profiling people. I think we all know what's going on here.

What part of that doesn't compute? Everyone with a functional brain voted for Harris because we all knew this was the alternative. It has nothing to do with where you fall on the political spectrum.
