Fears of racial profiling rise as Border Patrol conducts ‘roving patrols,’ detains U.S. citizens

On Thursday, Brian Gavidia pushed him into a metal door and wanted to know where he was born – in a Los Angeles suburb on Thursday – with armed, masked men – on them with a “border patrol”.

I am an American brother! 29 -year -old Gavidia begged in the video taken by a friend.

“Which hospital were you born in?” The agent was barking.

“I don’t know Dawg!” he said. “La, my brother! I can show you: I have my real identity.”

Gavidia’s friend did not name the video: “These men are literally based on the skin color! Homie was born here!” The friend said Gavidia was questioned “just because it appears”.

In a statement on Saturday, Deputy Secretary General Tricia McLaughlin, the US citizens, “the US border patrol representatives have been arrested,” he said. (McLawhlin’s statement emphasized the word “attacked” in all capital and brave letters.)

When Gavidia was told that Gavidia was not arrested by a reporter, McLughlin announced that Gavidia was questioned by Border Patrol Agents, but there was no arrest record ”. Gavidia said that a friend was arrested because of an officer’s attack.

As immigration operations appeared in Southern California last week, lawyers and defenders say that people were targeted because of their skin color. Gavidia and the encounter with the others they follow, hundreds of immigrants sweeping and the deep -nested communities that they call the house made fear of execution efforts.

Intermediaries buy street vendors without warriors. American citizens grilled. Home Depot Lots swept. Car wash raided. Wide-scale arrests and arrests-often contain the distinctive properties of the region’s Latin neighborhoods-Creet profile creation and other process violations.

In a lawyer in Southern California Aclu, Eva Bitran said, uz We see that ice comes to our communities, and it is largely based on creating racial profiles of immigrants or people who look like immigrants. ”

When asked about the accusations of creating racial profiles, the White House was deviated.

The White House spokesman Abigail Jackson fired Timees journalists on Saturday for not reporting the real story and radical democratic rebels that were willing to do anything to protect anything to protect the dangerous illegal aliens in American communities.

He didn’t answer the question.

McLawhlin said, “The claim that individuals’ targeted by law enforcement officers because of their skin color is disgusting and categorically wrong.” He said.

The proposal said fans endangered flames and agents.

“DHS application operations are highly targeted and officers show the necessary care,” he said. “We know who we aim in advance. When we encounter and encounter individuals subject to arrest, our law enforcement officers are trained to ask a number of well -determined questions to determine the situation and removal.

Iz We will follow the president’s direction, and the worst criminal from the streets of America will continue to work to achieve the worst of illegal foreigners, ”he said.

Customs and border protection officials were placed in the federal building in Los Angeles on Friday.

The unprecedented power demonstration of federal agents follow the orders of Stephen Miller, the architect of Trump’s migration plan and Santa Monica, to make 3,000 arrests a day. Miller in May reported Top Ice officials have been able to go beyond the target lists and arrest agents in Home Depot or 7-Eleven markets.

The US Customs and Border Protection did not answer certain questions about the encounter with Gavidia, and said that immigration sanction was “targeted”. The agency did not explain what it means with the targeted execution.

However, a federal criminal complaint against Javier Ramirez, another of Gavidia’s friends, said that Border Patrol agents carried out a “wick patrol” in a parking lot on Montebello at Montebello at a parking lot on the Western Olympic Boulevard. The complaint said that the parking lot is surrounded by fence and gate, but the door of the parking lot during the interaction was open.

Application, Customs and Border Protection Spokesman John B. Mennell was part of the wick patrol in Mennell– It was a “execution of legal immigration ğı in which agents arrested an immigrant without legal status.

Gavidia said he and Ramirez both rented space in the pulling garden to fix the car.

In the video caught by a security camera at the scene, the agents pull up the open door on a white SUV and three agents come out of the car. At least one of them enters the property and starts to look around with a mask. Shortly after, an agent can be seen with a handcuffed man standing in front of the fence, Ramirez can be heard when he shouts and wrestling on the ground.

Gavidia is on the stage on the sidewalk outside the work where representatives are parked. When he sees the turmoil, he returns. An agent outside the job follows him, then the other does.

Mennell, described as a third person, said, “For intervention (in an enforcement operation), he was detained for an investigation and released after he was confirmed that he was a US citizen without extraordinary warrants”.

“The video didn’t show the whole story,” he said.

However, exactly what this intervention is from the video. And Gavidia refuses to intervene in any operation.

The CBP, the agency, which played an important role in recent screenings, has found that a judge is under a federal measure in California’s middle decision, after determining that violating the constitutional rights of people in raids earlier this year.

The raids that control raids involving the raids involving people in the US border patrol sector chief Greg Bovino, Home Depot and stopping on the road on the highway were Senator, the first Latino US senator of the state. Alex Padilla appeared at a news conference next to a news conference.

“A lot of bad people, now there are very bad things in our country, B said Bovino. “So we’re here right now, illegal aliens, drugs, or otherwise to remove these bad people and bad things.

Bovino said hundreds of border patrol agents were ventilated and they were on the ground while executing in La.

A federal judge for the eastern part of California, shortly before President Trump took off, he ordered Duzines Farm Worker and Worker in the Central Valley – including the US citizen – including the US citizen – and to stop the illegal stops and arrests in the region.

The case, which was brought by United Farm Workers and Central Valley residents, accused the agency with people who ruthlessly forming racial profiles in the execution that lasted one day. After going to work, he wandered the agricultural area to a great extent after the video of the agents who cut the tires of a citizen who was a citizen, and he was afraid that these tactics could be the new norm there.

David Kim, Vice President of Patrol, under the direction of BOVino, was “evidence of concept” in San Diego investigation outfit. Inewsource in March. “We know that we can go beyond this border now.”

At a press conference, the BOVino said that his agents were “not going anywhere soon”.

“You will see us in Los Angeles. You will continue to see us in Los Angeles,” he said.

Bitran, who works on the case at Central Valley, said that Miller’s orders were “loose” agents, which are the authority to capture as many people as possible, and “lead people to detain people in a way to violate the constitution”.

One in Montebello 78 % Latino suburban This took the identity of Gavidia, the border patrol agents, who shared the border with East Los Angeles. Although he finally allowed him to go, Ramirez wasn’t so lucky that an American and two -person father was so lucky.

Ramirez’s cousin and lawyer Tomas de Jesus said that the authorities were accused of “resisting arrest, attacking people, after holding the authorities to a private enterprise.

“What is a reasonable doubt for his accusation?” Jesus questioned. “What is the possible reason for them to enter a special business area?

Ramirez was accused of attacking, resisting or blocking a federal officer of a federal officer. Authorities claim that Ramirez tried to hide himself and then refused to answer questions about his identity and citizenship. They also claim to push and bite an agent.

De Jesus said that Ramirez was not trying to escape, that he didn’t attack anyone and that he raised his hands when he was faced by CBP ”. “He is not aggressive, the victim.”

Montebello Mayor Salvador Melendez said that he watched Gavia’s questioning and calls the situation as “extremely frustrating”.

“It seems that there is no process,” he said. “They go for a specific appearance of our Latin community, an appearance of our immigrant community. Then they ask questions.

A third person was detained on the street for the intervention investigation and was released after confirming that he was a US citizen without extraordinary warrants.

Angelica Salas, who managed one of the most established immigration advocacy groups in Los Angeles, even before making a cycle in social media publications, reported that “random” arrests and American citizens were questioned and detained.

Salas, General Manager of the Humanity Migration Coalition Coalition, said, ız We have US citizens who want their documents and do not believe when they prove that they are US citizens ”. “Only Latinos.”

The Supreme Court has decided that law enforcement officers could not detain people based on generalizations that will constitute a wide range of suspicion about the large sections of the population that complies with the law.

UCLA Faculty of Law Migration Law and Policy Center Co -Director Ahilan Arulantham said, “Some of the accounts I have heard have stopped a lot of people and then question all of them to find out which of them can be illegal,” he said.

An agent can ask a person “anything”. However, if a person refuses to speak, the agent cannot detain them unless he has a reasonable doubt that the individual is illegally here.

“4th change and migration arrangements, there is no reasonable doubt even for a very short time, and does not allow him to detain his will,” he said.

Just to be Brown is not entitled. And not being a street vendor or farm worker. The search order for documents on a working site is not enough to detain someone there.

“Representatives seem to explicitly violate these immigration laws,” he said.

Gavidia said that the agents questioning him in Montebello never gave his real identity back.

“I’m a life,” he said. Orum I speak perfectly in English. I speak perfectly Spanish. I am bilingual, but that doesn’t mean, ‘These guys look like Latin; this man looks a little dirty’.

Edi That was the worst experience I felt, Gav Gavidia said on Friday, trembling angrily when talking about work. “I felt like I was going to be honest.”

On Saturday, Gavidia joined Jess in La city center for its first protest.

Now, he said he felt personal.
