Ramon Torres had been a U.S. citizen for nearly ten years when he was detained for four days on an immigration hold despite having a U.S. passport, a Louisiana drivers license, and a Social Security card, and despite that fact that a court ordered his release.

Torres ordeal began in August 2018, when he was pulled over and arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated. Torres, a naturalized U.S. citizen since 2009, was carrying multiple forms of identification, including his drivers license and other security credentials. Torres was booked at the Ascension Parish Jail, and the next day the Parish Court ordered his release.

But Torres wasnt released. Instead, the Ascension Parish Sheriffs Office placed an immigration hold on Torres on the suspicion that he was unlawfully present in the United States.

The basis for this suspicion? He had a Latinx name and brown skin. Staff at the sheriffs office explained that they had a policy of detaining all Latinx people for immigration review.

When his friends and family tried to intervene and provide additional documentation proving that Torres is a U.S. citizen, officials in the sheriffs office still didnt budge.

Torres spent four days in jail before a lawyers involvement finally secured his release.

This was a flagrant violation of Torres constitutional rights, and this week the ACLU of Louisiana sued on his behalf.

Racial profiling is illegal, unconstitutional, and deeply harmful to families and communities diverting scarce resources away from pressing public safety priorities.

What happened to Torres is inexcusable and antithetical to our most cherished American values.

It seems a bit dodgy indeed. But are we sure we're operating with full knowledge of the entirety of all the facts, here ?

Pretty sure we are. If a court order telling the department to release him isnt being heeded then thats about as cut and dry as itll be.

This.

But the story shouldnt have used latinx because it was written in a section where they said the staff was explaining their policy and I highly doubt they used the term latinx lol

Maybe I'm only speaking from my own perspective, but when I see a term I don't recognize, I look it up or ask what it means.

As opposed to freaking out over the concept of having to learn something new.

Not a right winger but this topic is actually the first time in my life I ever seen the word latinx


It's just a gender neutral term for someone of Latin descent (i.e Latina/Latino), like saying chairperson instead of chairman.

In this context everyone can see that he is a male, so they really didn't have to use the term Latinx.

Because it doesnt sound correct nor flow correct. If someone wants to identify themselves as it Ill call them that but I wont use it as my general description of people from that region

Not sure why people cant say Latin. Thats gender neutral. Hell Id rather say hispanic. Only thing it really leaves out is Brazil with the latter.

Its not a wordplay, its a fucking shorthand. Latinx Is shorter than Latino/latina. You can thank twitters character limits

They do this in my state/county too. When I was arrested about 10 years ago I did a video arraignment with a bunch of other inmates, and every single Hispanic person had bail withheld because of an ICE detainer, regardless of their charges. It's astounding that it's legal (or maybe it's not but nobody challenges it).
