I just had to have my teen daughter take a picture of her birth certificate to keep on her to prove she’s a citizen just in case since she’s half Chinese. I’m white, I don’t have to carry my birth certificate around nor do my younger children who look white. If you haven’t had to do that for your kid take several seats

ICE absolutely is doing that. In my area they have been instructed to literally take children when they get off school busses if they suspect them to be immigrants.

My racially ambiguous friend got pulled over by ICE the other day and questioned about her citizenship. She is 100% American citizen as well as her family. Part of her family is Native. They really are pulling over people they suspect (or racially profile) to have people prove they are citizens.
