“…Carry ID With Them At All Times.”

I’m old enough to remember when “show me your papers” was the hallmark of a totalitarian state, and all God-fearing right wing Republicans considered that a sign of the end if American freedom which had to be opposed at all costs.

Of course, if that only applies to criminals and Hispanics, then at least it’s not discrimination against white men. Which are the most oppressed group in America.

(The most pitiful part of this story is ICE releasing him once they let him show his Real ID. These ICE agents are so savvy they know he isn’t an American citizen, but they aren’t savvy enough to think the person they are after gave a false address. (Duh!) They obviously didn’t have a picture of their suspect; but the man at that address did. Which they didn’t look at until they handcuffed him and … decided maybe they should check? These ain’t the best and the brightest, but we always think they will be when politicians promise magical solutions to complex problems.)

Not FAFO. SNAFU. And under Trump? FUBAR.
