Anxiety over federal immigration detentions has gripped thousands of residents in the area and led many to limit the time they spend in public.

The key issue is that ICE isn’t looking for criminals or recent arrivals; they’re trying to sweep up anybody whose skin is too dark. Hence the need for citizens to carry passports at all times.

    To be fair they have also expelled people who are as white as can be from Germany, Norway and Denmark that I have read about.
    The Dane was married to an American woman and had American born children, and had worked in USA for many years.
    But without the right paperwork, you get thrown out, also if you are white. Maybe the risk is smaller IDK, but nobody is safe.

      What’s different is that they’re not grabbing people who are white off the street and out of stores at random.

        Well IDK about that, but they are not sent to prison in Venezuela, they are being sent to their home country.

            Yes it’s completely insane, I have no idea how that is legal? AFAIK it clearly isn’t legal under the American constitution , where you are considered an American if you are born on US soil. And the base in Germany is AFAIK US soil.

            But AFAIK the treatment of everyone is illegal if they don’t see a judge before being expelled.
            It’s absolute insanity, and it’s insane Americans are allowing it to happen.
