4:30 yesterday in Fort Lauderdale, FL immigration agents boarded a bus and asked to see papers of citizenship.
WTF!!!!!!!
I can’t believe it, and yes, of course I believe it .....
Where’s the outrage, the resistance ?
That happened whenever I took Greyhound, outside of Sulphur Springs, TX. I think in 2016 and 2017. Supposedly law enforcement, but I couldn't say for sure. For all I know the people who actually boarded the bus could've been working for Greyhound, but actual law enforcement were outside the bus. They checked IDs, looked in carry-on bags and purses.... Very unsettling.
About 30 years ago in college I was on a Greyhound bus near So Paso, TX and it was boarded by border patrol, who asked every passenger if we were citizens. I simply answered and was not asked to prove it, but many were. I wondered if they were going by one's accent or appearance or just what. Disturbing, but this isn't new.
I was stopped about 60 miles from the Mexican border, along with three other people, and we were all asked about our status. It reminded me of the time when my relatives had to have papers just to walk to the store when they were under Nazi occupation, in Greece. This is how fascism is born.
Its happening again-to all the deniers on a previous post. This is the beginning of a Fascist State.
@sassygirl3869 Yes, it is. And it's going to get worse before it gets better.
Maybe citizens could get on buses and leave their ID's behind. That would be a good protest.
I wa stold years ago by my cousin that lived in Apopka that every year during the holidays, the state of Florida declares martial law . The police can search anything or anyone without a search warrant . This was before Y2K & 911 , I have no idea what it's like down there now days . alot of people there consider it to be an Honorary part of Central America . Florida does things a little different than other states .
