Essay On Iron Triangle

In America people are stereotyped for their skin color, how they dress, physical features, and so forth. Although Americans stereotype others, our law enforcement uses racial profiling when there is no probably cause; racial profiling is when law enforcement targets someone due to their race, ethnicity, religion, or their national origin. Our law enforcement and government have a tendency to use what’s known as the iron triangle. The iron triangle is a cooperative relationship between different government ranked officials but they also will benefit from a law or regulation. In a news article a woman who was minding her own business was requested off a plane, cuffed, strip searched, and put into a jail for the time being. An article wrote by Niraj Warikoo told the story of Shoshana Hebshi who was of the Arab descent who was requested off a plane in Detroit. Hebshi was sitting next to two men who were of Indian descent were all three suspected for possible danger due to being racially profiled because of their ethnic background. The day Hebshi was searched marked the 10th anniversary of the attack on the twin towers, 9/11. Habshi had no idea what was happening and
she was not informed where she was being taken to. Habshi said she was embarrassed and was concerned about her children growing up in America since she has been racially profiled. Racial profiling is unconstitution due to fourth amendment. The fourth amendment of the constitution says a person’s right against unreasonable search and seizure shouldn’t be violated unless a warrant is in place. Although there must be a probable cause for the warrant in order to complete a search. The constitution is the supreme law of the land and should be followed even by government officials and employees. Also in the first amendment of the constitution it says a person has freedom of religion, speech, and press; under the first amendment someone shouldn’t not be profiled due to their religion in which they believe in. The iron triangle impacts racial profiling because this is a relationship between different government ranked officials but they also will benefit from a law or regulation.
When the congress begins to get big ideas, its passed to the department of defense, and eventually each state law enforcement could play a role and impact the community. When the law enforcement become part of the iron triangle, they will also continue to use racial profiling then on the clock. A good example of the iron triangle impacting racial profiling would be President Trump and his travel band, he is racial profiling those who live in certain countries of the world. The iron triangle would be the 3 branches of government, the judicial and legislative would be ate the bottom of the triangle with the executive branch ate the
top. Racial profiling is one of the worst thing possible. There are people who have done harm to the world running around free but due to someone’s race, ethnic background, religion, or national origin they are being profiled and their rights are being violated. The iron triangle is how our government works, all the government officials and employees are following orders from those above and following protocol. When someone has their constitutional rights violated due to racial profiling it can be a very traumatic experience as it was for Shoshana Hebshi. Although she was doing nothing wrong, she was cuffed, searched, and put into a cell due to her ethnic background.
