Your September 8th decision in Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo sanctions racial profiling and endangers every Latino American. Kavanaugh’s claim that stops will be “brief” contradicts documented reality. Job Garcia was held 24+ hours despite proving citizenship. Jason Gavidia was assaulted and had his ID confiscated. Davino Watson spent three years detained before ICE acknowledged his citizenship. GAO data shows ICE arrested 674 potential citizens, detained 121, and deported 70 recently. Your ruling forces Latino Americans to carry citizenship papers or face violent arrest. This creates unconstitutional second-class citizenship. ICE policy prohibits detaining citizens, yet your decision enables exactly that. I demand immediate clarification. ICE cannot detain verified citizens for any period. Citizenship claims must be verified through databases before detention. Agents who ignore citizenship status must face charges. Appearance, language, or job cannot justify stops alone. The Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments prohibit this racial profiling. Americans should not fear their government based on their appearance.
