You do not have to speak to ICE or answer their questions. You can assert your right to remain silent and request a lawyer. You can decline their request to search you or your vehicle. ICE is not allowed into private spaces without a judicial warrant.

OP, here are resources from the Minnesota ACLU:

https://www.aclu-mn.org/know-your-rights/know-your-rights-college-students/

While technically correct, this generally terrible advice from a practical perspective.

If OP’s child is a citizen, s/he should politely answer ICE’s questions and carry/provide proof of citizenship if requested.

99% chance that will end the interaction safely and with no further action.

Most people don't carry proof of citizenship in the US though. It's not customary and we usually consider those important documents that we store away.

If you’re genuinely concerned, easy enough to take keep photos of docs on your phone. That, combined with polite and cooperative approach, is very likely to suffice.

yet, the evidence from the recent events tells us a completely different story.

Not really. ~200 US citizens had been detained by ICE as of October (per ProPublica) and this includes folks engaged in protests, and includes those who did not present ID.

Given the total number of ICE interactions with the public, the data tells us that the risk of being detained if you cooperate and present proof of citizenship is very small.

Sorry, will the constant lies coming out of this administration, you don't mind if we don't beLIEve..

Do you think even know what ProPublica is or how they came to that number?

FFS, do your research before you spout off.

You seem very trusting

Of nonpartisan, aggressively independent investigative reporting and data? Yes.

Of people’s “feelings” in anonymous online forums? No.

Seems like a prudent way to live.

This?

One, one even one is acceptable. They are Americans

Two, the ICE game is changing in real time. Those who are prudent will be aware of that. Just watch and see.

Good point, not even one American detained is acceptable. Americans assaulted and killed by illegal aliens though is of no concern.

Yes, that.

And of course even one is unacceptable. But that’s not what we’re discussing—we’re talking about whether there’s a significant risk of a kid being detained if one is (a) a citizen, (b) presents proof of citizenship, and (c) is polite and cooperative.

The data indicates that the risk is quite low, especially when one also considers that the risk of an ICE encounter in the first place is quite low.

And yes, obviously that risk could change. But we’re talking about the reality of the here and now, not playing “let’s make a WAG about the future and pretend that’s what’s happening now”.

Correction: If OP's child is a white citizen...

I’m PP and my kids are brown, and I’m very confident that they will be fine if the cooperate and present documentation if requested.

I’m even more confident that failing to do so would make their situation MORE dangerous.

So aside from irrational fear-mongering and making kids less safe, you got anything else?

You are a god dammed fool.

What do you not understand about the number of citizens who are not criminals that have been taken by ICE? Facts matter.

The fact is our courts are litigating a ton of cases just like that. And you think your kids are safe with papers???

Prepare your children this is not going to end well.

The numbers are staggering how many citizens they have put in confinment!

Yes, facts matter. I’ve read the ProPublica report. Have you?

The number of citizens detained who (a) were not protesting, and (b) presented proof of citizenship is very low.

The data clearly and unequivocally shows this to be true.

You’re letting anxiety distort your view of the actual facts.

And for the record, I’m not a fan of ICE or of Trump—loathe him.

What do you not understand about the fact that ICE is escalating?

Your past data will not predict the future.

And your feelings will?

As of right now, the evidence is pretty clear that risk is low. Nonetheless, I support taking reasonable precautions (carrying relevant documents, preparing to handle interactions safely, etc.).

I also readily acknowledge that the situation may change for the worse. If it does, then of course my kids’ approach will also change.

What’s your point?

Feelings?

Sure sure tell your brown kids to do whatever you want

Don't mind if some of the rest of us are are "feeling" things

If OP’s child is a citizen, s/he should politely answer ICE’s questions and carry/provide proof of citizenship if requested.

99% chance that will end the interaction safely and with no further action.

Most people don't carry proof of citizenship in the US though. It's not customary and we usually consider those important documents that we store away.

If you’re genuinely concerned, easy enough to take keep photos of docs on your phone. That, combined with polite and cooperative approach, is very likely to suffice.

yet, the evidence from the recent events tells us a completely different story.

Not really. ~200 US citizens had been detained by ICE as of October (per ProPublica) and this includes folks engaged in protests, and includes those who did not present ID.

Given the total number of ICE interactions with the public, the data tells us that the risk of being detained if you cooperate and present proof of citizenship is very small.

Sorry, will the constant lies coming out of this administration, you don't mind if we don't beLIEve..

They are disappearing people with no criminal record. They are detaining US citizens.

You do not have to speak to ICE or answer their questions. You can assert your right to remain silent and request a lawyer. You can decline their request to search you or your vehicle. ICE is not allowed into private spaces without a judicial warrant.

OP, here are resources from the Minnesota ACLU:

While technically correct, this generally terrible advice from a practical perspective.

+1

US citizens are being detained even when they offer to produce passport, etc.

Sometimes the ID is "lost."

If mommy is coming with photocopies to prove your kid is American, where will you go?

Many detainees are being moved quickly out of state to places more favorable to ICE.

It may be a while before you find them.
