Who brings proof of citizenship anywhere? I don't even think my driver's licence works for that purpose.

It doesn’t. I’m seeing recommendations that people get their passports and then pay the extra money at the dmv to get a passport card to carry in your wallet and use that as your main form of ID

My first thought when I saw this.

With Trayvon it was a random crank who got explicitly told by the 911 operator to stop following him who then went on to change his story about what happened multiple times. Now it's just standard procedure.

I worry about this shit because my younger siblings are mixed race and about this age. If ICE targeted my city like they're doing Minneapolis I would tell our parents not to let them go anywhere alone because this could 100% happen to them even though they're all citizens.

ICE is recruiting the same itchy trigger finger demographic as Trayvon's killer with the promise of no consequences and large paychecks. They are killing indiscriminately already. There's billions of dollars dedicated to continuing this project. Organize for community defense asap.

The US is a third world Banana republic with to much weapons and too much ignorant assholes in the gov.
