A Somali U.S. citizen, Mubashir, was arrested by federal immigration officers in Cedar-Riverside Tuesday during a mass enforcement.

In the video, a federal officer is seen putting Mubashir in a choke hold and forcing him onto his knees in the snow as he was on his way to get food. Mubashir said he told officers multiple times that he is a U.S. citizen and asked if he could show them his I.D. Officers ignored him, dragged him in the snow and pushed him into a car as witnesses yelled and blew whistles, according to the video of his arrest.

    the supreme Court does not interpret the constitution, they apply the constitution to laws.

    That’s a pedantic dispute, they interpret the constitution when applying their understanding of the constitution to laws.

    They are not some God-like Watchtower society, and when they stray, they Must be impeached.

    Theoretically that would be nice, but getting two thirds of the Senate to agree on anything is unrealistic.

    We, the people, elect our representation in Congress and are at fault for all of this.

    Eh… We don’t exactly have a direct democracy, and the bicameral nature of our representative government was created to empower conservatives. This was made even worse by the Great Compromise.
