Lmao, you think ICE cares about passports, they are probably fake anyway.

It's time to get out of the country. Treat the US as radioactive as China or Russia.

    Oh no! We knocked your passport out of your hand and it flew into the gutter!

    So I see you don’t have any documentation….I’m gonna deport you.

    Yeah ice won't give a shit. They're already telling people their id's and birth certificates are fake.

    I carry a 1911. Fuck some piece of paper. I will not shut up. I will not cower in fucking shadows. I am afraid for the future of my country, but I am ready to die fighting to save my home. Your passport, driver's license, social security card mean nothing to this brute squad. Folks have got to be ready for a fight. Many of us are going to lose it, but compliance is not going to make them play nice.

    I often wonder how much better off as a global society we'd be if the fucking 9/11 attacks didn't happen. This feels like a natural extended outcome of irrational fear and hatred of those who are "others".

    The irony being americas mostly doing this to itself at this point. Although it doesnt surprise me they were 1 tragedy away from it given mccarthy and the red scare. There's always been this reality that personal liberties are secondary to the goals of the political leaders.

    Facts: ICE and DHS ignore legal paperwork if their AI software claims you are an illegal immigrant.

    We have gone full fascist and dystopian in a year.
