Washington DC and National Guard

If your child “fits the description” of someone they are looking for, they may not get due process. Make sure your teen understands this if you live in DC.

I live on the Hill and have never seen or witnessed a crime. I walk to the grocery store on H St at night regularly. This is the most unsafe I have ever felt.

Same to all of this. I have talked to my teen repeatedly who is un Union Station daily commuting to and from school or hanging out with friends. I no longer feel safe having him there. We are all absolutely less safe.

Not to mention the ridiculous cost of having these soldiers standing idly with nothing to do, picking up trash, and scrolling on their phones. They are taken from their home/jobs for this posting -- it is a horrible waste and a terrible precedent.

What some don't seem to understand is they are around too. Not just the nice Guard guys and gals.

Your DL is enough, especially if it is a Real ID DL.

I'm not worried in the slightest.

Nobody ever was interested in my legal status whilst walking around the streets in my whole life. BTW the mixed English/Swiss/German side got me in the DAR.

Yeah it's not a thing. Only paranoid crazy white people think about being snatched up for no reason.
