Show Us Your Papers

Wow. Official confirmation that ICE HSI believes that it can in fact detain US citizens for *immigration checks,* and keep them handcuffed while they have their biometrics run.

That is a chilling assertion. https://t.co/ur3lG5NOCB

But how can we trust your papers?

Every DHS official testifying before Congress should be asked if they can, with the documents on their person at the hearing, prove that they are American citizens. https://t.co/d9umFX3og7

(I wonder how many ICE agents demand proof of blood in the face?)

So citizenship proof is what ICE says it is. And you are not a citizen until proven otherwise. Until, that is, you satisfy a ICE agent. 

That’s some catch, that Catch-22.
