I’m not a lawyer, but it is hard to tell from reading that if it means if you mark off one of the numbers it applies, or if you have to have 2 of 3 or what, but since it’s so vague, and most of the laws I’ve seen in that format if one point applies it all applies, I cannot in good faith argue that it won’t be used to target Hispanic people.
Point 2 specifies "and", but it's still super racist. Apparently white people who join street gangs and perform gang-related crimes aren't terrorists, only Hispanics are.
Right. That's the point. Keep the law vague for selective enforcement
It's definitely "and" of the conditions. But that's not the point.
Why can only hispanic gang members be domestic terrorists? Why wouldn't any other ethnicity of gang members be considered domestic terrorists?
