No. of Recommendations: 9
Expect voter rolls purged of anyone not registered as Republican. In some states, like Michigan, you don't register by party affiliation.
I learned something else today: racial profiling is now officially legal in Shinyland.
from the net sifter:
In September 2025, the Supreme Court, via its shadow docket, stayed a lower court injunction, allowing federal immigration agents to continue using race, ethnicity, and language as factors for stops in Los Angeles. This 6-3, unsigned order in Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo reversed a ruling that prohibited targeting, effectively permitting practices criticized as racial profiling.
The Action: The Court paused a district court ruling that had restricted Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from stopping people based on appearance, Spanish proficiency, or location.
The Impact: This decision allows ICE to use "roving patrols" and, critics argue, authorizes racial profiling in immigration enforcement, raising significant Fourth and Fifth Amendment concerns.
Shadow Docket Concerns: The ruling was issued without full briefing or oral argument, allowing for a significant shift in immigration policy and civil rights protections with minimal explanation, notes Stanford Law School.
Justification: While not a final decision on the merits, Justice Kavanaugh’s concurrence highlighted that immigration officers may consider various factors as part of a "totality of circumstances" for reasonable suspicion, according to a Supreme Court of the United States (.gov) documentSo, now, it is officially legal for roving bands of storm troopers to attack anyone who is brown.
Tidbits from the following article:
“You’re damn right we’re going to have ICE surround the polls come November,” former Trump advisor Steve Bannon said on his podcast on Feb. 4.
GOP lawmakers, like Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Rep. Jason Smith (R-Mo.), have said there is nothing wrong with ICE appearing at the polls to question voters.The main thrust of the article:
ICE Is Already Impacting Elections — Even If They Don’t Show Up At The Polls
ICE didn't show up at the polls during a January special election in St. Paul, Minnesota. That doesn't mean their presence didn't threaten voters.
Thanks to a crucial Supreme Court decision on its shadow docket that authorized immigration officers to racially profile people they thought might be undocumented, Operation Metro Surge saw officers target anyone — citizen or not — who wasn’t white for questioning, detention or, in many cases, brutal treatment. ICE began going door-to-door in predominantly minority neighborhoods to ask where residents were born, sometimes dragging them out of their homes at gunpoint. Officers indiscriminately fired pepper spray and tear gas at residents, including into the car of a family, hospitalizing a baby.
“What that did was have an incredibly chilling effect on how people move about our communities,” said Richard Carlbom, chairman of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party. “There are U.S. citizens who are Black, brown or Asian who won’t leave their house and we have to deliver food to them on a weekly basis because they’re afraid of being detained.”
Fears about strangers knocking on doors also varied by the residents’ race or ethnicity. It wasn’t the predominantly white communities who feared a knock on the door, according to Luger-Nikolai. It was the diverse Latino, Black, Somali and Asian communities who feared that any knock on the door could end with questioning from immigration officers, a gun pointed in their face or worse.https://www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-polls-election-...This is what MAGA voted for.
