The U.S government made a law that indicates how a police officer when they pull you over for speeding, running a red light or something is wrong with your cars like insurance or stuff like that.T he police officer can if they choose to ask is some identification about if you are legally in the united states of America. This law is biased because the police officer would be judging just by the color of the skin or the way they look, talk or just by the way the car looks. This is a very racist law. Also once the police officer pulls you over and asks you for proof then they take you to jail if you are not here legally which later calls Ice which is U.s Immigration and Customs Enforcement. They go and get you from jail to start the process of deporting back o the country that you came from not asking why or anything. This law has destroyed families. imagine the fear that it caused that is still causing for people to have to be scared to leave their house take their children to school or just going to work. The law is supposed to keep us safe and to keep order not to cause so much fear that people are scared to leave their own homes. The law is called SB4 and it gives soo much power to the authorities over what is going to happen whenever you get pulled over. SB4 caused and causes panic now not has much has it was when it first got approved and later allowed by our governor. Though it still worries people and gets them scared to be pulled over because they will never know which way the officer will lean for. It also could cause for the officer to just pull. people over just because of the way they look like not necessarily because they did something wrong.

Now that Trump is president I.C.E has definitely evolved. Police officers are throwing innocent people to jail and if they are not a citizen, they are thrown back to their country, leaving their friends, family, and their dreams behind. Like Brisa said, this law was "supposed" to keep us safe, while today, there are thousands of videos of different colored people getting beaten by police officers (who are also trying to keep us safe). If I was in the (immigrants) position this would make me scared to get out of my house. Brisa points out that nowadays cops are biased and are pulling people over based on race, and this makes people even more worried because they do not know what direction the cop is going for. The good direction or the bad direction. Immigrants should not be facing this kind of discrimination, especially here in the United States, where they come for a better life. You make really good points Brisa, really enjoyed reading this.
There is no doubt that racial inequalities still exist today. Some people believe in the myth that it has been cured, but that simply is not true. Brisa, you did a great job at highlighting some of these injustices that are causing harm even today. I think nowadays, we hear it most often about black men and white police officers. I do not believe that all white cops are bad people in the slightest. The situation in Fergusson, Missouri I think really riled people up; and rightfully so.
Your information was very clear and painful to read at times just do to the sheer ridiculousness that some of these people take in order to out others. It is unfortunate that so many people think that progress equates equality. Truth be told, I believe there is still plenty of work for us all to do.
