In a declaration filed in federal court, Leo Garcia Venegas said he was parking in front of his house in Silverhill, Alabama, on the morning of May 2 when an unmarked SUV blocked him in. Venegas claimed that before he could hand his Alabama-issued REAL ID to the two federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers who approached him, they pulled him out of the truck he was driving and handcuffed him.
What makes the incident extraordinary is that Venegas is the lead plaintiff in a class-action lawsuit challenging DHS’ immigration enforcement policies, and it was the third time he’s been handcuffed and detained by ICE agents. Venegas was detained twice in 2025 during raids on private construction sites where he was working, even though he had a REAL ID identifying him as a U.S. citizen.
That’s just cops doing cop stuff. For most cops, the worst offense you can commit is challenging their ego. ICE cops say you’re illegal, so you provide proof of legal status which refutes that accusation, and now you’re tackled for made-up bullshit.
They don’t turn their heads to those running the country. Cops are their private security, paid for by your tax dollars. Cops are and always have been an army existing to protect capital and punish the poor and minorities. Anybody who thinks otherwise fell for the copaganda. There are a few good apples in the bunch, and they will be assimilated or purged from the bad apple club within a few years.
Touch grass, my dude.
I am touching grass. Resist the hypnotic, dancing shadows and climb up out of the cave, my dude.
What does that have to do with anything? It’s very ontopic given the post.
No don’t.
Tear the grass up and plant a tree.
Go lick a cops boot, my dude.
YOU are the problem.
