My mom, who came here legally when she was 21 and is a US citizen, just called me crying about this story.
She said she's going to make copies of her driver's license, passport and naturalization certificate to keep in her car and purse.
This is what we said would happen.

ICE detained a family—including a toddler—after they were overheard speaking Spanish. They’re US citizens from Puerto Rico.
No chance to explain. The mother, grandmother, and child were shopping when ICE agents took them into detention before admitting their “mistake.”
This is Trump’s America.

We warned everyone, we did, now this---
"Sorry.!"
Kamala Harris will be installed as the interim President, and will be confirmed for the rest of the term after her reelection.
This is what needs to happen.
Godspeed, America.
They're probably afraid of making themselves targets.
They want everyone to be afraid, to stop speaking Spanish, to create terror and confusion. They probably target citizens just to sow chaos.
That does not magically remove the danger and risks for Latinos, Native Americans, or Puerto Ricans.
It's difficult to respond in a practical way to these scary times, but it has to be done.

Less than half of Latinos and Hispanics voted for Trump.
More of them voted for Biden, but many people seem obsessed with assuming we voted for this, so they can say we're getting what we deserve. Really shitty.
Asking if someone voted for this is a VERY sensitive topic. Maybe not the first question to go to.
That may also be worried about making themselves targets.
Suing isn't possible for everyone.
