“It depends if you look Hispanic.” From Forbes: www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...

Two weeks have passed since a Florida Highway Patrol officer arrested the Honduran immigrant client of Magdalena Cuprys of Cuprys & Associates. “He was stopped at a weigh station in Tampa because he owns a construction company, and he was required to stop for his truck to be weighed,” Cuprys told me. “The client had a valid Florida driver’s license. The patrol officer called Customs and Border Protection on him. The client called me, and the officer took the phone from him and spoke with me.”

She asked why CBP was alerted. “I was advised that the client looked Hispanic, had a Hispanic name, and now they are collaborating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and CBP, and their orders are to call CBP any time they encounter anyone they suspect is an immigrant,” said Cuprys. “I asked if they would have followed the same process if it had been me driving, and the response was it depends if you look Hispanic.”

I want to say something to my Jewish community on this: The US government is rounding people up based on their skin color, and many of the old guard Jewish organizations that have been most vocal about feelings of abandonment from other ethnic minority groups are nowhere to be found. Total silence.

"The crime novel is, perhaps counterintuitively, one of our most hopeful entertainments because it hews to this idea that every death matters." It was a privilege to experience these remarks in person.
