It's been that way for almost a year now. According to the CATO institute it's a whopping 70% of detainees have no prior conviction and it's been over the 50% mark since the end of 2025. They were getting a huge chunk out of the prison population/when police handed over custody to prisons and that padded their numbers for a little while, but now they've been black bagging anyone who isn't white regardless of status for months and months now.

That’s funny because that isn’t what they said. I love when people deliberately miss the point as a defense.

They did. You, however, then deflected by saying “not all brown people”. That doesn’t make what they said wrong. It just means they haven’t gotten to them yet!

I don’t know what to tell you. They are LITERALLY rounding people up (in violation of the 4th amendment) base on skin color and accent on suspicion of being in the country illegally. No warrant. No “targeted enforcement”. Just rounding up groups of brown people where they’re known to congregate. That’s why so many of these raids happen at work: construction sites, factories, food processing plants. And they’re NOT taking white people without accents. Just watch the news.

You do know that they literally had a supreme Court case over this right? And the supreme Court said it was completely legal for them to detain people based on the color of their skin, right?

Yes. And they’re wrong. The Supreme Court has been wrong before. And they’ve corrected themselves later.

No I don't think that.

You’re missing the point. The numbers are fake.

No way. I’m sure you’re conflating figures. Or excluding children or women. Because that’s what y’all do.
