My son is a dark skin Mexican American who works in IT for Amazon. He carries a certified copy of his birth certificate and his Real ID in his wallet. He lives in a Latino part of town where ICE patrols and raids are common. He stays at home at night. This is the new normal if you have brown skin. You’re still a target even when you are a US citizen.
Stay safe. I hope he talks to your state and national legislators, and has an attorney he can call, or better yet, certified birth certificate and copy of REAL ID with the attorney. This whole situation is just plain nuts.
9% of ICE arrests appear to be violent criminals? I’d say the Government roundup of invaders is going poorly. In fact I’d rate it a “FAIL”. This will not help anyone but Democrats get elected in ‘26. The Republicans are walking blind into a shitstorm of reprisals. The MAGA movement is wobbling like a drunken sailor and will be DOA come November ‘27. Then whatever happens after Jan ‘28 will be on someone else’s tab. Don’t you know there are many foreign players salivating for the return to a Democratic Presidency. It’s gonna get ugly.
The US police state is kidnapping citizens, making up bogus "charges", and - maybe - releasing them. Now some of these victims have a police complaint against them, manufactured by a corrupt, bullying, illegal mercenary force. And next time the bullies can say they arrested a criminal. Cities need to pass regulations that "law enforcement" of any type cannot wear masks, must have a warrant, and prosecute these ICE raiders with assault and kidnapping charges.

Abominable unimaginable cruel. It must stop - and all those masked ice agents arrested.
Since I live in LA, this was on the news immediately after her release. And her only infraction is the color of her skin! ICE is disgusting!!
And her gender.

I don’t believe that. It was her gender and intelligence that defeated her. Multiracial doesn’t mean the same thing as it did 20 years ago.
