In other words, Trump says he can deport anyone he wants without trial.
Better make sure you always have your passport and birth certificate on you. And even then, that might not protect you.
ICE agents don't know nor care to know how to read, let alone how to ask for a passport.
If you are approached suspiciously by men in black, have your gun at the ready.
Won't save you from an ICE that's happy to tear them up and deport you anyway. This isn't a legalist regime. Residential "legality" is just a talking point to justify totalitarianism.
If you believe a piece of paper is going to be a shield against a bunch of thugs with guns, you're going to be in for a hard and sharp awakening when people you know and love end up on the next round of deportation lists.
Won't work. That kind of evidence would be presented at a trial. For your average ICE agent, your documentation, and lack of criminal record makes it obvious that you have ties to a powerful street gang who is hiding your crimes.
This is literally what ICE has argued in the past few months.
Yeah. They literally said that that the lack of evidence is actually the evidence, and that it is proof of a hyperintelligent criminal who has lead a life of crime without ever being caught. And that is why they have no criminal records... because they are criminals who haven't been caught yet!
Better still, avoid travelling in the US and hope the Americans can reclaim their country from Trump and his merry band of fascists.
You should probably also make sure to have a copy at home in case they take it from you
I haven been to the US since the end of 2019.
I’m a citizen, but live abroad with my wife. I will be visiting my family this fall and I’m so happy my birth certificate is here. I’m totally bringing it with me just to be safe.
Is your wife from a background that could be remotely linked to something "bad" by crazy radicals?
that basically boils down to being from any part of the world that constitutes as Brown, Socialist, Controlled by China, or Controlled by Europe, in the Radical's view.
She’s not joining me on the trip. We debated about it while Biden was still in office and mainly decided that I’d just be catching up with friends and family and her getting a visa and a plane ticket is too costly and time consuming.
After current events, it was a no brainer.
