The death of a man fleeing a Home Depot immigration raid sparked anger among immigrant rights advocates: "We hold the Trump administration, the Department of Homeland Security and the Home Depot responsible," one group said.

    Romero, the UCLA professor, said the Home Depot operation appeared to be in violation of the federal court order barring the government from carrying out these types of raids. Last month, a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order preventing federal agents from carrying out indiscriminate immigration arrests based on a person’s race, language, vocation or location.

    They are chasing a person for no crime. They believe he is illegal. No proof, just brown skin. That is racially profiling which is illegal. Also a judge told them to stop this shit bc it is illegal. It’s in the article.

      It’s obvious, not sure what the other person is talking about. Literally the same mentality that if someone is innocent, they should comply with everything and hide nothing, no matter how unreasonable. That’s not right, we should be holding those in positions of authority to a higher standard than those who are not.
