    Better make sure you always have your passport and birth certificate on you. And even then, that might not protect you.

      Won’t work. That kind of evidence would be presented at a trial. For your average ICE agent, your documentation, and lack of criminal record makes it obvious that you have ties to a powerful street gang who is hiding your crimes.

      This is literally what ICE has argued in the past few months.

        Yeah. They literally said that that the lack of evidence is actually the evidence, and that it is proof of a hyperintelligent criminal who has lead a life of crime without ever being caught. And that is why they have no criminal records… because they are criminals who haven’t been caught yet!

      Won’t save you from an ICE that’s happy to tear them up and deport you anyway. This isn’t a legalist regime. Residential “legality” is just a talking point to justify totalitarianism.

      If you believe a piece of paper is going to be a shield against a bunch of thugs with guns, you’re going to be in for a hard and sharp awakening when people you know and love end up on the next round of deportation lists.
