How Do You Prove Your Citizenship?
This article explores the complexities U.S. citizens face in proving their citizenship to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, challenging Justice Brett Kavanaugh's assertion that such verification is straightforward. It details how the Trump administration's aggressive immigration enforcement has led to the unlawful detention of citizens and legal residents, often based on ethnic appearance or language. The piece highlights the lack of a national database for quick citizenship verification and the unclear guidelines ICE officers operate under, emphasizing the "gray area" for American citizens not legally required to carry identification. Lawmakers are investigating these arrests and discriminatory practices.
Note
another kafkian nightmare.
a super court judge defending their decision based on an imaginary and devoid of reality scenario. a government agency refusing to answer basic questions about how they work. lawful citizens having little to no recourse if they get targeted (purposefully or mistakenly).
odd for a country that has celebrating the melting pot imagery for so long. even then, change and evolution are necessary. it's just better when such changes are clear, predictable and not driven by corruption and misinformation.
