If you are a person of color, please have proof of citizenship on your person when you leave the house. Cuz that's where we fucking are. The nazis will ask for your papers.

You think we haven't learned that long before this tho? We teach our children from the cradle how to navigate this world in their beautiful bodies set up to treat them as lesser than white/human. Trumpeeter Nation is just the latest iteration.
I’d also suggest you have these on you if there is any hint of non-white ethnicity and your last name. We have to fight this, but in the meantime, people need to protect themselves.
ICE is already harassing Native Americans for being brown. It's deja vu from last time, only this time Merrick Garland gave them all a pass to amp up criming.
The MAGAs are the ones who claimed having to show proof of vaccination during covid was akin to being asked to show papers. Now they’re championing the same thing toward the left in an exponentially more imposing degree.
During the first presidency, my dad told me to always bring my passport with me. I guess I’ll have to go back to doing exactly this and it’s terrifying.
That’s giving in, in advance! No one has a right to ask for your citizenship papers. This can be considered fear mongering and I know you didn’t mean that. Don’t let them start asking for things they have no right to.
I am now. You’re talking about border searches. In your last post, it was about people keeping their citizenship papers on them when they are in the United States.
I am not talking about border searches. I am saying that they don't need warrants for any search within 100 miles of the border, which applies to 2/3 of the population.
It says that the government doesn't need a warrant within 100 miles of the border (which includes International airports) for undocumented immigrants. About 2/3 of the country lives within 100 miles of the border.
Shocked the H out of me the two times I was stopped FAR from the border in Arizona and New Mexico. They looked in the back of our U-Haul when my wife and I were moving to Massachusetts in 1975. They stopped me and my wife when we were touring the sites in Southern Arizona in 2018.
Or, get our there and fight. The lack of mobilization against this administration is astounding! Posting on social media is the equivalent of assuming someone else has called 911 after a car accident and driving away with injured people still in need of help.
They are not going after naturalized citizens or people with permanent residence cards - YET. I would carry copies of naturalization papers or permanent residence cards at all times though. These people are fomenting a feeding frenzy.
The really bad thing is that most people do not have a copy of their birth certificate. And they definitely don't have copies of their parents' birth certificates or naturalization papers or permanent residence cards. The only reason that I do is that I needed them to apply for Italian citizenship.
I'd suggest that even to darker-skinned citizens of southern European descent. But not your ORIGINAL papers. Keep those at home. Carry copies. Certified copies, if possible.
This! ICE/CBP has a history of stealing or "misplacing" official papers, and they're difficult, time-consuming, and expensive to replace. Moreso now, because crossing the border is likely to be difficult and slow.
I told my family the day after he won to make sure their passports were in order and to start carrying it with them everywhere... I wasn't wrong, was I?
Generally if challenged for I.D., police escalate if you don't comply. They'll intimidate or charge you with 'vagrancy' or 'obstruction' or whatever else they can invent.
DJT is also a strong supporter of 'stop and frisk' for any reason.
Absolutely—applies to most Americans. But it doesn’t mean people have no rights. Conflating the two confuses people and makes them feel powerless whether they are documented or not. It’s simple to find and screenshot actual “Know Your Rights” cards in several languages to share the truth instead!
I have no problem with people knowing their rights.
That doesn't mean that people shouldn't carry papers that prove they are citizens and/or here legally to protect themselves from those set on stripping those rights.

If you live within 100-miles of any border, including oceans and the Gulf of Mexico they can harass you for proof of citizenship. If you’re not within 100-miles, I’m pretty sure you can tell them to fuck off, unless there’s a warrant.
Yeah, no. It's surrendering in advance. "Show me your papers" is the most Nazi command ever. Giving the Nazi your papers is the most subservient, cowed response ever.
Agreed on principle, but unless you are a pasty-faced white person, refusing to identify yourself is bad advice. Maybe even if you are a pasty-faced white person, like me.
No. That isn’t how this is meant to work. Have a camera on. Have a social media account. And live stream the name and face of the tax payer paid (socialism) officer (fascist pig) who is “just doing his job” and make them be responsible for their actions. Following an illegal order is illegal.
Great. Now I'll be deported to Africa or the UK. Neither places I, my parents, or their parents have ever been. Or be cross-race misidentified and sent to like, Haiti or something. Stupid brown skin, (that I am pleased with having), always doing me dirty.

We. Told. You. So.
It's not "fear mongering" if there is a legitimate threat. And it's not "obeying" to counter that threat through legal means.
Show them, then sue them for asking.
There is a legitimate threat. And it's not "obeying" to counter that threat through legal means. Getting deported doesn't help anyone.
Show your docs, then sue them for asking.
