Possible hate hoax, by the hate hoax experts WAPO. Fake news!

LeChatNoire4 It's not just a 'claim', there's actual video of this.

Possible beachfriends? Who know what to believe anymore.

I would have told him, no no, no that's Portuguese!

shit like this makes me want to learn spanish outside the curse words.

They are probably pissed on what's happening at the border and what better way to get back the US..sue them..works for everyone else..

WaPo’s one sided story is always far from truth itself

PKelpe Totally plausible

AND here's your 15 minutes Enjoy

so?

Sue the government

FakeNews at its finest

Have the Feds ever heard of Puerto Rico?

Or they are lying and wanting money. Counter sue

Lol were they in MAGA hats walking down the street with clorox?

Yea, sure they did.

I have a suspicion that may not just be the case..

I cry bullshi-t!!!!

BOTH WOMEN ARE HEROS. Donate to the ACLU I do!! Hernandez said a friend commented to her that the agents picked the wrong person. She replied: “No, they picked the right person — the person who is going to stand up for the next one.”

So now it’s suspicious if you speak more then one language 🤦‍♀️

What only smart people can speak more than one language. Why was gov money wasted. Lots of citizens speak Spanish.

It's time to defund DHS until abuses by border patrol agents are stopped. aoc .

And? People get detained for all kinds of reasons legitimate or not.

Sad.... how aclu is only helping immigrants now.... I am trying to sue CA over there sanctuary ignorance, due to the growing number of homeless that is seen throughout CA.... I call aclu and nothing, but they sure are ready to jump over what most likely is fabricated....

Still speaking Spanish 2 generations in ? Balkanization

Skin scared

We are often subjected to discrimination for kinds of reasons. This is not a fair world.

Press 2 for English

Then got on their donkeys and left.

It time! Stop abuse of Power!

I'm going to get serious about learning more Spanish and start speaking it all the time. See if I get harassed.

Have you found Ruth Bader Ginsburg yet ?

Hope they get a nice settlement

yet another leftwing hoax
