The legal standards for arresting or detaining someone are being ignored ⭐
reptedlieu.bsky.social Rep. Ted Lieu @reptedlieu.bsky.social · Jun 24
ICE is basically going after people based on their skin color, race, or ethnicity. They’re detaining U.S. citizens and people who have a right to be here.

It’s mass racial profiling.
