Targeted and Presumed Illegal Until Proven Otherwise, like Nazi Germany [but no need for a Jewish Star, Skin Color is the Criteria]: ACLU says ICE Race Soldiers are Sweeping Up Indigenous People in MN
/TARGETED AND PRESUMED ILLEGAL BY SKIN COLOR UNTIL PROVEN OTHERWISE. IN NAZI GERMANY , AS PART OF THE DESTRUCTION PROCESS OF THE JEWS, NAZI AUTHORITIES REQUIRED JEWS TO MARK THEMSELVES WITH A STAR. THAT IS, JEWS WERE ONLY ALLOWED TO APPEAR IN PUBLIC WHEN WEARING THE JEWISH STAR. WITHOUT THE STAR MARKING SYSTEM (AND METICULOUS RECORD KEEPING) THERE WAS NO WAY TO TELL WHO WAS A SEMITE AND WHO WAS NOT. NAZI'S CREATED AN ELABORATE SYSTEM OF MOVEMENT RESTRICTIONS AND IDENTIFICATION MEASURES THAT INCLUDED PERSONAL JEW IDENTIFICATION CARDS, PASSPORTS MARKED WITH A J, ASSIGNMENT OF NAMES AND THE OUTWARD MARKING OF PERSONS WITH A YELLOW STAR.

ACCORDING TO RAUL HILBERG: "THE WHOLE IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM, WITH ITS PERSONAL DOCUMENTS, SPECIALLY ASSIGNED NAMES, AND CONSPICUOUS TAGGING IN PUBLIC, WAS A POWERFUL WEAPON IN THE HANDS OF THE POLICE. IT WAS A CONTROL MEASURE IN THAT IT ENABLED THE POLICE TO PICK UP ANY JEW, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME. [MORE]
IN THIS MORE ORGANIZED, UPDATED OPERATING SYSTEM (OS) OF RACISM/WHITE SUPREMACY THERE IS NO NEED FOR ANY SUCH STAR - NON-WHITES ARE TARGETED BY SKIN COLOR [MORE] AND [MORE] AND [HERE].
From [HERE] Several Native Americans have reportedly been swept up in Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota, where federal agents are accused of racially profiling immigrants and citizens alike in rapid, warrantless arrests.
Four members of the Oglala Sioux Tribe were arrested and detained last week, according to Tribe President Frank Star Comes Out. Three remain in federal detention, according to the Tribe.
At least one other Native American, a member of the Red Lake Nation, was arrested and briefly detained last week. Jose Roberto “Beto” Ramirez, 20, was forcibly removed from his aunt’s car and detained by masked officers in Robbinsdale, Minnesota, according to video of his arrest.
Officers pulled him from the passenger’s seat, slammed him on the hood of the car, handcuffed him and hauled him to a detention center, where he spent roughly 10 hours.
Native Americans are U.S. citizens, holding dual citizenship rights and responsibilities under both federal and tribal laws. But indigenous leaders fear federal officers surging into the greater Minneapolis area are unlawfully stopping, questioning and detaining Native Minnesotans on the basis of their skin color and names, or racially profiling Tribal members who officers believe are Latino immigrants.
“Native people have been here since time immemorial — there’s no one that has been a citizen of this country longer than us,” according to Minnesota’s Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, a member of White Earth Nation and the highest-ranking Indigenous woman in statewide elected office,
“The obvious racial profiling happening to our community is disgraceful,” she said this week. “My heart breaks to hear about what’s happening and it pisses me off.”
In a letter to Trump administration officials, the Oglala Sioux Tribe noted that the detention of tribal members is “unlawful and constitutes a direct violation of binding treaties, federal law, constitutional protections, and the United States' trust responsibility.”
Three tribal members are detained at a federal building in outskirts of Minneapolis, where scores of people arrested during the Minnesota surge are jailed, according to Star Comes Out. [MORE]
