It is Simply Racial Profiling - Period
Summary
Hawk critiques the Supreme Court’s recent rulings that permit ICE and Border Patrol to racially profile Hispanic, Latino, and Black individuals, labeling these actions “Kavanaugh stops.” He analyzes Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s concurrence and Sonia Sotomayor’s dissent, arguing the Court ignores overt bigotry through a “neo-Korematsu doctrine.” The episode also condemns Tom Homan’s denial of racial profiling and highlights how these decisions strip Fourth Amendment protections from millions of Americans.
