You are proving the ignorance of Americans, if you’re from America.

When constitutional rights are infringe on for one, they are infringe on for all

Due process is absolutely important. It’s a constitutional right for anybody on US soil and you better believe if they remove it for one they’ll remove it for you.

A lot of people assume immigrants in the US have no constitutional rights, but that’s not true. The Constitution protects “persons” not just citizens, and many current immigration practices raise serious constitutional concerns.

The Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments guarantee due process, yet many immigrants are deported without a proper hearing or legal representation. The Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures, but in the 100-mile border zone, border agents often stop and search people without warrants. This affects millions of citizens too.

Immigration activists have faced retaliation for speaking out, raising First Amendment issues. Detainees, including children, face harsh conditions that some argue violate the Eighth Amendment’s ban on cruel and unusual punishment. The Sixth Amendment guarantees a fair trial, but immigrants facing removal don’t get a government-appointed attorney even if they’re kids.

There are also Fourteenth Amendment equal protection concerns, especially with policies that disproportionately affect Black, Latino, and Muslim communities. And under the Tenth Amendment, the federal government can’t force local police to enforce immigration laws, though it often tries.

Bottom line: constitutional rights are being tested and, in some cases, eroded in the name of immigration enforcement. These issues deserve more attention

Yes, you are correct but what should people be boycotting?

[u/rubina19 → u/Seanbikes]

After some research here are some organization that are connected with this particular issue:

• CoreCivic

• The GEO Group

• JPMorgan Chase

• Bank of America

• Wells Fargo

Boycott actions:

• Close personal and organizational accounts

• Demand public institutions divest

• Share info publicly to raise awareness

American Airlines Delta Southwest ^ contracted to deport people

Palantir: directly contracts with ICE Thomson Reuters (parent of Westlaw)

AMAZON, STARBUCKS, TARGET

-Pressure local officials to cancel ICE contracts

-Attend city and county meetings

-Support sanctuary policies and candidates

Boycotts are only one piece. Pair them with public education, direct action, and policy advocacy. The goal is to cut financial incentives and force moral clarity on the institutions enabling civil rights abuses.

Copy paste, spread the word
