You’re not a POC, are you? [/quote]

NP. I am a “POC” (I hate this term) lawyer and I agree with this in principle. But I’m not scared of being “disappeared” or walking around in general. I live in NYC and walk around all the time without a wallet (including ID), and have no plans of changing this.

People are being hysterical. Many years ago I studied abroad in Russia, which is actually a country where authorities can and will stop foreign-looking people (or anyone) and ask for your papers. This is not anything even remotely close to that. [/quote]

lol better start carrying your papers on you. Can’t wait to see you try to lawyer your way out of being arrested by a private in the 82nd or mask ICE agents.

[quote] The Trump administration is planning to conduct major immigration raids in three U.S. cities per week, according to three sources familiar with the planning. One of the sources described the operations as “all hands on deck.”

Operations began Sunday in Chicago, New York City began Tuesday, and three officials said they were planning for the next operation to take place in Aurora, Colorado, on Thursday. However, two sources familiar with the planning said Wednesday the Aurora operation was called off temporarily due to media leaks. One source said the leaks posed an operational security risk for officers involved. [/quote]

PP here. Yeah, I see absolutely no need to do that. My point is that the immigration raids - and I am not addressing the merits of those and due process issues they might raise - are exactly that, raids, where ICE thinks it can pick up people without papers. Like immigration court. [b]There aren’t ICE officers swarming the streets of Midtown and the subway looking for random people to detain. [/b]I feel perfectly, 100% safe from immigration officers in my daily life.

I recognize that even U.S. citizens are having issues at borders and airports, but I maintain that American citizens “of color” systematically being detained on the streets and ordered to show papers while going about their business is not a thing. [/quote]

Coming soon to a neighborhood block near you. This is happening people, unless the public draws a red line and says absolutely not. If ICE wants to get warrants and target specific people, then I am all for it. But when we are at the point where an exchange like this is taking place that people have to carry papers, we are no longer the USA.[/quote]

I disagree that this is happening or imminent. I’m not denying that they’re conducting aggressive immigration raids, I’m saying that I don’t think we’re anywhere near a point that random American citizens are going to be targeted in the streets by ICE and should be carrying proof of citizenship as a proactive measure. I think that is hysteria.[/quote]
When are you people going to wake up? Here’s ICE literally telling people planning on attending a soccer game that they should have papers on them.
