    This is getting weirder. Did they realize they were being shitty on camera?:

    “I’m a U.S. citizen, please help me,” she shouted after agents forced her to the ground. “This is unfair. Why are you doing this to me?”

    Agents then placed her in a patrol vehicle. She was released a short time later.

    “She refused to cooperate and identify herself with all levels of law enforcement there,” said agency spokesman Alan Regalado, noting Monroe County Sheriff’s Office deputies were there. A Herald reporter saw deputies moving drivers along who were slowing down to watch the stop.

    After agents removed the woman from her car, they found her driver’s license in the vehicle, ran it through their system and confirmed she is a U.S. citizen, Regalado said.

            Ya, speaking as an American, America really jumped the boat with Iraq and Afghanistan and the idea of American Exceptionalism. Like I get it, America is the best, but the minute you start seeing results that are not agreeable, change the method. No, these chuckle ducks said we are America and rammed thorugh terrible idea after terrible idea. 'Cause we the best. It’s this mindset that has everybody denying, America was already close to the bottom. Now it seems we trying to be the best at being the bottom. And seeing if that floor can go lower.

              It goes all the way back to the founding of the United States. The country itself is built on stolen land and is rotten to the core.

                What is wrong with a bunch of wealthy racist land owners creating a country to benefit themselves?

                Everything you learn growing up in the US is propaganda and objectively false. There is so much white washing bleach should be the national drink.

      Why would they bother with the license if the ICE facial app scan said she was an immigrant? I thought it was absolute and infallible…
