On a bus from El Paso to Phoenix someone smoked a joint in the bus bathroom and got dumped on the side of the highway immediately after.
Two hours later on that same bus trip the bus got raided by immigration and I got into an argument with the officer that wouldn't accept my ACTIVE, UNEXPIRED Military ID as a valid form of ID and started yelling at me for my passport (I have a Spanish last name). I threw my passport at him and told him to fuck off before I got my command group involved with his. I don't know how that worked but he got real quiet and left me alone immediately after that lol. There were several people that were pulled off of that bus that night. It was overall pretty shitty.
This is going to get so much, unspeakably worse if Trump wins the next election and succeeds in his plans to forcibly deport millions of people. Of course the law enforcement agencies will "have to" check anyone who looks like they might be an illegal migrant, based on their ethnicity. Ruining the lives of not only the migrants, but countless American citizens as well.
It worked because cops are terrified of MPs. They know that the MPs can and will treat them the way they treat the normal citizenry.
