Man Stopped By Border Patrol Voices Guilt About Voting For Trump, Joins Lawsuit

Source: Huff Post

Aug 13, 2025, 03:49 PM EDT


A California man who alleges border patrol agents racially profiled him during a stop in June said in a story Monday that he feels guilty about voting for President Donald Trump in the last presidential election.

“I truly believe I was targeted because of my race,” Jason Brian Gavidia told NBC affiliate KNBC on Monday. “I believe I was racially profiled. I believe I was attacked because I was walking while brown. Where is the freedom? Where is the justice? We live in America.”

Gavidia is one of five people represented in a class action lawsuit by the ACLU of Southern California accusing the Trump administration of racially profiling people while conducting immigration enforcement activities.

Last month, a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to stop indiscriminate immigration stops and arrests in seven California counties. However, the administration petitioned the Supreme Court last week to lift the order.

Hope you spend a good portion of your remaining life wondering how you could have gone so catastrophically wrong with what should have been a simple vote. Vote for the qualified, educated, experienced, ethical, patriotic woman, or the sleazy, revolting, chronically lying, cheating, stealing, grifting, pants-shitting convicted felon man-baby.

Well, it was a simple choice for me, anyway...

and will vote for the next Repuke candidate.

He only cares that it happened to HIM! I don't hear any empathy for ALL the people being impacted or broad oppostion to the policies, only that HE was racially profiled.
