BREAKING: Justice Sonia Sotomayor issues a scathing rebuke after the MAGA-controlled Supreme Court rubber-stamps Donald Trump's fascist blueprint to allow federal officers to conduct immigration stops in Los Angeles. This court is rotten to its core... “We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent,” wrote Sotomayor. She is the first Hispanic person to ever serve on the nation's highest court. The two remaining liberal justices, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson, joined her in her dissent. Sotamayor wrote that the Constitution's Fourth Amendment clearly protects people against unlawful searches and seizures and should be applied to everyone on American soil. "After today, that may no longer be true for those who happen to look a certain way, speak a certain way, and appear to work a certain type of legitimate job that pays very little," she stated. The court's outrageous decision means that a ruling by U.S. District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong will be placed on hold. Frimpong had held that immigration agents can't be permitted to stop people simply because of race, ethnicity, because they speak Spanish, or because of where they work or congregate. Such racial profiling is clearly a violation of their rights. This ruling represents a dangerous step towards the white Christian Nationalist America that MAGA is building towards. Republicans want everyone else to feel like second class citizens in this country and their escalating immigration crackdowns are designed solely to terrorize minority communities and delight racists. When Democrats retake the White House, we need to seriously discuss expanding the court. These right-wing judges are ignoring the will of the people to enact the agenda of billionaires and bigots. It's time to fight back. Please retweet and ❤️ to thank. Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson for taking a stand!
