In a statement, Congressman Cohen said: “With the recent ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court in Vasquez Perdoma v. Noem, the Supreme Court rubber-stamped racial profiling, a cornerstone of the Trump administration’s militarized policing strategy. “This isn’t about going after ‘the worst of the worst;’ it’s about targeting specific drivers based on their appearance in order to search and deport them. The Memphis Safety Task Force is pulling over drivers for minor offenses, like having a paper license plate tag or a dim light, with the hope of escalating the encounter to a search or arrest. It also burdens specific communities with additional fines and fees from traffic citations. In the United States, everyone is equal under the law and should be treated equally by law enforcement. This is wrong, discriminatory, and dangerous, and must stop immediately.” # # # | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:32:54Z |
