Supreme Court ruling opens door to profiling of Americans: Mosqueda joins statement from national county officials

| County Councilmember Teresa Mosequeda |
“The National Association of Hispanic County Officials (NAHCO) is displeased and frightened by the Supreme Court decision in Noem v. Perdomo.
"The ruling in this case allows immigration officers to question people based on factors like race, language, or type of employment.
"The fourth amendment of the constitution is clear that the government may not stop and detain people without reasonable suspicion. Decades of court decisions have stated that ethnicity is not evidence of reasonable suspicion. This case stands as a setback to America’s civil rights, equality, and justice.
“The Supreme Court has opened the door for profiling of Americans. Latino communities are the second largest demographic in this nation and now can legally be treated as suspects and wrongfully detained just for looking Latino.

"This will expose the millions of Latinos throughout the nation to harassment, wrongful detention, anti-immigrant rhetoric, and fear in their everyday lives.
"Latino community members will face the risk of being profiled as suspects in public spaces because of key aspects of their identity such as what they look like and the language they speak.
“As an organization of local Latino leaders, we believe that everyone is entitled to due process, that the constitution should be upheld by the government, and that justice must be applied equally to all.

"America has been promised as a place where the law is fair and depends on evidence. This ruling by the nation’s highest court puts this long-standing American principle in jeopardy. NAHCO will continue to advocate for the safety, equality, and wellbeing of all Latinos.”

Mosequeda must be aware of the "Expedited Removal" laws that the Supreme Court relied on to make their decision. Not everyone gets their day in court and haven't since the 1990's when the first expedite laws were passed. There have been additional laws added since and the last ones during the Biden administration. It is fair to argue that the removal laws should be changed but not fair to pretend they don't exist.
Legal immigrants and citizens of any ethnicity have no fear of ICE. Illegals of all ethnicities should, and do, fear ICE. Illegals have themselves to blame as they tend to go for manual labor jobs. How many leaf blowers dressed in suits? Canadian illegals are rare as Canada 🇨🇦 is on an economic par with the USA 🇺🇸. Mexico 🇲🇽 not so much. Common sense. Best if illegals self deport and preserve their chances of entering legally
Of course the open borders advocates are upset. This isn't principled opposition to the ruling on 4A grounds. Mosqueda and others are mad because millions of illegal entrants and visa overstayers stand to be held accountable for their criminality.
