A Kavanaugh stop is a law enforcement practice in the United States in which federal agents can stop and detain a person based on their perceived ethnicity, spoken language, or occupation in consideration with other factors.
A key feature of the Kavanaugh stop is breaking car windows or busting in doors while people attempt to explain that they are citizens or have legal status. Can’t have facts interfering with law enforcement!
