YSK a card in your wallet won't help you much when an ICE agent points a gun at your head and tells you your passport looks fake, without even looking at it.

Lmao it's been shown multiple times that even with a passport shown to ICE they'll just call it fake if they want to abduct you.
Yup I was going to comment the same. The physical passport might be useful after the fact once you're in ICE holding being processed after x amount of hours/days. But then again at that point they would look you up in their systems so having the physical passport in your wallet may end up being a waste of time anyway.
The fact is if the ICE goon squad you encounter feels like arresting and detaining US citizens they're going to do it.
And that's assuming the ICE goons don't make up charges of assaulting them or similar, in which case I'm not sure if those US citizens being charged get released with a future court date or are detained indefinitely.
You should know that you are not required to identify yourself to the gestapo. This post is in un-American.
The way to combat these idiots is everyone refusing to show identification .
Thank you. Papers, Please isn't the ending we need to run to. They can't treat us like criminals cause they feel like it
Still seems like a hassle to have to pull that out. They should design something that's more outwardly noticeable like a piece of clothing or maybe just a simple armband they can wear over their clothes that signifies they're jewis-I mean legal or whatever.
Or just a stamp saying 'this person is unwanted but haven't found a reason to get rid of them yet' so you can show to the next ice 'agent' you've already been harassed earlier.
My goodness. I can't believe we are living in this era of fascism.
Good luck United States folk.
YSK if ICE thinks you're too brown, they'll just say yours is fake and deport you anyway. It's already happened to US citizens.
Deadset. Which moron actually thinks mexican-looking peoples with actual passports are being approached on the streets and let go??
“YSK you should comply with authoritarian governments”
Yall are so fucking cooked.
Papers please
You're trolling right? No one should need to unlawfully identify themselves at the bequest of nazis.
A REAL ID is also valid proof of citizenship. ICE clearly does not care.
Definitive proof of citizenship won't stop ICE from beating or killing you if you have an accent or non-white skin.
You think ICE cares? You think ICE even understands that?
Colored man reaching for something in his jacket or pants?
YSK he's about to get shot.
It won't stop them. Immigration and customs already had a large amount of unchecked power prior to this administration, but under this administration there isn't anything they care about. They've been murdering people in cold blood across multiple blue states for a while now.
Besides that, if people start panicking and trying this then the necessary venues that people have to go to for their first passport(you have to show up in person for your first passport) could become ICE targets or places they stalk. It's not exactly uncommon knowledge that conservatives tend to not bother getting passports either.
YSK: you want to take up as much time as possible (depending on your needs) when talking to ICE. One minute talking to you is one minute they're not teargassing an infant.

Give the government $30 to stop violating your civil liberties
Apparently ICE doesn't have to look at it.
I'm 100% not showing my papers.
Having a passport card will definitely make it easier for the deportation official to release you after assault you, put you in handcuffs and take you to the station for speaking Spanish in a Mexican restaurant.
This would be more effective if everyone just affixed a symbol to their sleeve.
Maybe that symbol can be easily recognizable like a star or something. We can even make it bright yellow or gold so it's visible from a distance.
Many others have pointed out multiple probably even more important issues with this. I'd just like to add that it's actually $30 to the state department and another $30 to the processing department (like the post office if you take it there) and another processing fee for the photograph.
Mine was closer to $100 and cannot be used for international air travel.
So unless you're planning a cruise or a land crossing, this is a $100 fee to try to avoid getting arrested.
