Justice dies when due process is denied.

The Laken Riley Act paves the way for racial profiling, indefinite detention, and punishment without trial—turning accusations into sentences.

This isn't safety; this is injustice.

As a Latina, this video breaks my heart.

In the swirl of all the nonsense being spewed to distract from what's important please read the following article from the NYT today.

Democrats Will Regret Helping to Pass the Laken Riley Act https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/13/opinion/democrats-laken-riley-act.html?smid=nytcore-android-share

They are complicit in shredding our 4th amendment rights. This will be final nail. They already will arrest and fingerprint you for WINDOW TINT. They want everyone in their biometric system because now the people are a threat to their oligarchy/govt.
Conservative SCOTUS is torching the constitution

alliwoodrow.bsky.social•38 days ago

From Mother Jones reporting it appears Senators Slotkin and Peters are poised to vote for this bill. This should not pass without significant ammendment. Please reach out to them to vote no.

It’s utterly unnecessary and unacceptable for democrats to give red state AGs power over blue states! Don’t they understand?

Justice is already dead. Now it’s Just-Us

Sounds like witch hunting season is on…wasn’t there something like this with McCarthy ?

billyb123.bsky.social•38 days ago

Latinos for trump voted for this. They put him over the top for the win.

doxie-dachsie.bsky.social•38 days ago

The very definition of "witch hunt".

Support the ACLU

spaceblatt.bsky.social•38 days ago

As an American, I am offended by a law that violates every principle of the Constitution. Indefinite detention without trial or bail based on an opinion you might be an immigrant, flies in the face of due process. Republicans have completely embraced fascism as a form of government for the oligarchs

victoriab2025.bsky.social•38 days ago

I doubt dems would enforce this. It's the Republicans that need to take a stand against this and other injustices. Do you think it will happen? And yet more Latinos voted Republicans/Trump.... than Kamala/democrats 🤷‍♀️

winetast3r.bsky.social•38 days ago

If it denies due process, then it is illegal. Or unconstitutional.

slip-sliding.bsky.social•38 days ago

No, companera, THIS is FASCISM....and as an AMERICAN, it scares me shitless!

j3bster.bsky.social•38 days ago

This plan is unbelievably bad.

Yet @fetterman.senate.gov still supports it.

Don’t obey in advance.

thejenniwren.teamlh.social•38 days ago

The Laken Riley Act is a dangerous bill that threatens the constitutional right to due process for immigrants. Tell your Senators to vote NO & protect justice. Click here to easily send them a letter.
Fight for our immigrants!

They need to read the book American Anarchists to see how these kind of summary arrests ends up.

It's the new Patriot Act, but worse.

Let's see how this brings down the price of eggs.

shelbylady.bsky.social•38 days ago

This is what they voted for so we will now see how Trump’s hatred for immigrants unfolds! 🤬

justbobhere.bsky.social•38 days ago

a lot of dark skin trump supporters are about to begin the find out era.

coletty.bsky.social•38 days ago

Have to say this? So why in hell did so many minorities vote for him? You were warned and chose to believe they were coming after only bad guys! Well here we are now all suffering from the injustice. This is just the beginning.

jacklbrand.bsky.social•38 days ago

I'm surprised the Laken Riley Act doesn't include funding for camps.

Or maybe it does. 🤷‍♂️

pbenfield.bsky.social•38 days ago

It's sickening

helxine.bsky.social•38 days ago

This appalling law would be the absolute worst legacy for Laken Riley's family, adding insult to injury. The family don't want this and nor should any self aware US citizen. This will become a wedge prising apart an unpredictable future

automaton4u.bsky.social•38 days ago

Also pretty anti-cop if you are telling them to recklessly kidnap citizens in a country where damn near everybody is armed.

johnathanlemons.bsky.social•38 days ago

If only history gave us some clues on how this will work out...

wait--what.bsky.social•38 days ago

and the repubs are saying the dems that won't vote for it are enabling rape, murder, pedophilia.

the trump party cares not for truth or due process.

sjenn414.bsky.social•38 days ago

Meanwhile, almost 340,000 American kids have experienced gun violence at school and not a FUCKING THING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT.

amylvsgbpack.bsky.social•37 days ago

They will just indefinitely detain healthy folks to get free labor in their 'camps' (prison). Sound familiar?

yayyay1960.bsky.social•38 days ago

As a caring person, this is devastating!

leeprescott.bsky.social•38 days ago

In red states, most of our neighbors, “friends”, family, small and large business owners, and community leaders overwhelmingly voted for all the candidates who advertised they planned to do this, among other cruel things, so we all have to live with or witness inhumane treatment unless they wake up.

julesrocks64.bsky.social•38 days ago

Germans did the same. They lost their democracy in 54 days. We are a bigger country but confederate states will do their best to make America white again. They will stand on the dead kids for their fav adjudicated rapist and convicted felon Agolf.

Stop and frisk on a national level. So, how much of the Latino vote did Dump get again? Cause some of them voted for this. Weird in my book, but Murica!

ausetbradford.bsky.social•38 days ago

Y'know, the thing that really gets me is, do we even know this alleged incident actually happened??? I can't find any trace of there actually BEING a Laken Riley, anywhere, ever. Do we even know if this was a real person?

mabinogi62.bsky.social•38 days ago

This is about filling camps with immigrants so they can be impressed into slave labor and rented out for the benefit of the Trump org and his cronies.

wethepeoplestill.bsky.social•37 days ago

California schools are getting prepared. Parent rights seminars.

shirlsurely.bsky.social•38 days ago

It was tragic what happened to Laken Riley. They seem to forget that heinous crimes like that occur every single day in America by natural born American citizens. This Act just gives them an excuse to be vicious, cruel racist pigs, the type that would applaud Modern Day Lynchings with zero remorse.

smoliv1.bsky.social•38 days ago

I think 5,000+ women get violently killed every year.

itsnotuitsme1911.bsky.social•38 days ago

Give em what they voted for... I'm tired of fighting for people who vote against themselves.

justmeandthepups.bsky.social•38 days ago

If only the consequences could be allocated only to those who earned them.

shirlsurely.bsky.social•38 days ago

Exactly! Those who knew better & tried to stop this madness will be forced to suffer right alongside these MAGAMorons.

itsnotuitsme1911.bsky.social•38 days ago

I agree... But when "legal" immigrants start getting deported and DACA gets overturned, they'll really see how they voted against themselves. Plus a lot of these immigrant want to either be white or align themselves with whiteness. Some of the most racists ppl you'll ever meet are 1st gen immigrants

justmeandthepups.bsky.social•38 days ago

Sadly, racism is a human scourge. Not limited by time or place. As long as humanity continues failing to use our self-vaunted brains to evolve past this in every hideous form, (instead of to rationalize and justify it), we’ll keep using it to inflict constant strife, suffering, and premature death.

Apparently the FBI collects racial data on murderers. In 2023, the number of murders committed by white men outnumbered all other murders.

This is what a large percentage of Latino men voted for,right.

People forget it’s ANYONE of color, my friend was stopped one time and she is Greek 😶. So hey Muslims in Michigan thank you for voting against yourselves!

oneplus2.bsky.social•38 days ago

Just to some context, not for anything violent, but someone said Hispanic and I guess anyone not lily white was a suspect. 😐

I would have real long and hard chats with the Latino community that voted for trump.

In Nazi Germany they called being thrown in jail without due process "protective custody." This isn't new. Sadly.

It’s a disgusting perversion of justice that does NOTHING to prevent the senseless act of hatred that motivated its creation.

It won't only affect Latinos and non citizens.

julesrocks64.bsky.social•38 days ago

Our 4th amendment rights have been shredded by their corrupt conservative SCOTUS. You can be arrested and fingerprinted for WINDOW TINT in many states. They have eroded our liberty and Americans stay silent unless it happens to them. The final nail Jan 20, the funeral of democracy will be televised
