I guess it's safe to say that these men were not Hispanic. Otherwise asking for ID would have been a civil rights violation.
This is a civil rights violation. I think what you meant to say is that, had the men been Mexicans, this would be TREATED as a civil rights violation.
Our wonderful government does not believe that ordinary white people can even have their civil rights violated. Or maybe they just think that white people have no civil rights to violate in the first place. Either way, the result is the same. That’s why the bastards need to be sued into oblivion.
