Presumably yes, birth certificate. But based on news of citizens being wrongfully deported I honestly don’t know what kind of proof ICE demands.
You can tell the guards there that you’re a citizen, but they’ll likely respond with some version of “tell it to the judge.” Your immigration-court appearance could be weeks, or even months, away. You will wait behind bars. There’s no right to counsel in immigration court — if you can’t afford a lawyer, you’ll have to represent yourself. When you finally see the inside of a courtroom, it could be what ICE calls a “mass removal” hearing with dozens of other defendants. You won’t have a chance to talk to a judge.
Holy fucking shit. The injustice in this would cause me have a violent meltdown.
“Would?” This is what’s happening.
I meant if I was the affected person
then they’ll just say “see this is not how a true american acts this guy must be a terrorist.”
they gaslight in this way.
the trick is to protest, yell, scream, vote, email, etc NOW.
Ye obviously. Just saying that as an autistic person, having to directly face such injustice would probably get me shot.
it’ll sadly get anyone shot. :( these nazis dont care. please stay safe.
Thankfully not.
Can’t do any better than my birth certificate.
If that’s no good then no
That didn’t even work for a President.
There’s only one form of ID ICE cares about:
I can’t wait to get deported (I’m brown) while my son, who is white as fuck (but technically Latino) stays behind. 🫡
I’ve needed to email my birth certificate a few times, so I could probably find it in my emails.
Nah, I don’t even live there
Depends on how much due process they’re willing to allow.
I’m very white, so that’s something.
I almost always have my drivers license on me, that should be worth something. However I’m pretty sure my state gives out licenses regardless of immigration status. Also, while I paid for RealID, I didn’t get it
In case due process and constitutional rights were allowed, I have a passport and may be able to dig up a birth certificate. You can’t really do any better although I believe they’re already ignoring that
always have my drivers license on me, that should be worth something
yeah but why would you want to? talk about embarassing
Now that I’m no longer in the US, I’m so glad I can claim heritage to a third country (I was born there). I will never ever introduce myself as an American. If anything I refer to the state I came from since there is a lot of good there, but fascism is trying to drown it.
Probably not without a ton of money and the willingness to pretend to be one…
Could you really prove anything, reality is relative and all.
Nein
Auch nein.
Probably but that’s because I’m privileged to have a space secure enough to store the magic documents that mean I’m allowed to occupy the volume required for me.
Nations are dumb and imaginary.
Do you carry those documents on you?! How are documents at your house going to help you if ICE grabs you off the street?!
And when ICE says your passport or birth certificate is fake and they confiscate it?
I’ll guess I’ll die.
Magic isn’t real and you shouldn’t expect it to protect you.
No. I can’t. And probably neither can most of us. That’s part of the plan. Anybody among us could be disappeared into the gulags.
I could pretend I like guns and don’t know what a meter is. Would that be enough?
You mean like a parking meter?
