“Essentially, Abbott’s executive order directs Texas’ Department of Public Safety to stop vehicles that, under “reasonable suspicion,” appear to be carrying illegal aliens who have been released from custody after illegally crossing the border. And since many of the vehicles carrying the suspected illegal aliens are private, Abbott has ordered those vehicles impounded.”
Brilliant. Texas isn’t enforcing “immigration laws” it’s seizing property used in commission of a crime. Asset forfeiture plain and simple.
Asset forfeiture is blatant theft, no matter what the reason. It was originally meant to collect the proceeds of crime from drug cartels and theft rings, but it has been turned against the citizens, and MUST be stopped, no matter the consequences. The abuse of the process has poisoned it beyond any redemption.
Any “conservative” that supports this abuse of process deserves to have their house swatted when they are not home. BTW, the police are NOT responsible for the damage to your home when they raid it, the repairs are your problem. Even if the hit the WRONG house!
