  that has nothing to do with this

    Of course it has. They're checking people that look "foreign".

    That's what they say, but of course they would say that. It's like that old Groucho joke: Who are you going to believe? Me, or your lyin' eyes?

      They don't even always say that: https://www.wbez.org/immigration/2025/09/29/feds-march-into-downtown-chicago-top-border-agent-says-people-are-arrested-based-on-how-they-look https://www.wbez.org/immigration/2025/09/29/feds-march-into-... > “Then, obviously, the particular characteristics of an individual, how they look. How do they look compared to, say, you?” he said to the reporter, a tall, middle-aged man of Anglo descent.

    SCOTUS has endorsed using "apparent ethnicity" as grounds for a stop: https://www.scotusblog.com/2025/09/justice-brett-kavanaugh-and-racial-proxies/ https://www.scotusblog.com/2025/09/justice-brett-kavanaugh-a...

      We're calling them Kavanaugh Stops. Legalized racial profiling.

      Absolutely. I'm a legal immigrant, but delays in processing and other things when I had to adjust status after divorcing from my US citizen wife (I moved here on a K-1 fiance visa) had me involving an immigration attorney, who made the comment, "I hate saying this, but it's true. You're the right color, and with where you're coming from (Australia), nobody cares about checking up on you."

        All those illegal Polish immigrants in Chicagoland (of which there are many) seem to be doing just fine.

          deportations are up among other groups too (this isn't meant to suggest they aren't racially profiling): > The number of Irish citizens deported from the United States has risen by more than 50% so far in 2025 compared to the previous year, figures released to BBC News NI show. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4g78nj7701o https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4g78nj7701o

    Discussion's over everyone! Some random user said that had nothing to do with this. He didn't elaborate, but you can't argue with that logic.
