Fear mongering or legitimate concerns

[Pts5541 5]

I am seeing a lot of content on immigration laws/raids/ on the socials some of it seems legit other ones feel exaggerated but I can’t tell. I’m a citizen but I get uneasy sometimes because of my skin color. And it seems like when these raids happen if you look like one you get stopped? Does anyone else get the same feeling or am I just going over the top here? How does one even defend themselves or prove their citizenship if stopped? it’s not like I walk around with my certificate.

Very legitimate concern.  What you do depends on where you happen to be and how they stop you. Read through your rights.

 

Take a photo of your Natz Certificate or passport, save it in an email folder accessible on your phone . But first stand your ground . 
‘If you have the stomach to do a social experiment, simply state you are a US Citizen and refuse to show proof. You will get released of course.

• If you are pulled over in a traffic stop: Ask if the officer is from the police department or immigration. Immigration officers often identify themselves as “police,” but they are not police. Ask if they are from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or Customs and Border Protection (CBP). If they are immigration officers, follow these guidelines about what information to provide.     
  • If you are a U.S. citizen or have lawful immigration status: Show your passport, legal permanent resident card, work permit, or other documentation of your status. If you are over the age of 18, you should carry your papers with you at all times.

Anyone, including ICE agents, can enter public areas of an organization without permission, according to the National Immigration Law Center (NILC) and Gelatt. 

Areas open to the public can include lobbies, waiting areas or parking lots, the NILC says.

But that doesn’t mean ICE has the authority to stop, question or arrest just anyone who is in a public area, the NILC says. That still requires a warrant or probable cause to believe that the person does not have legal status in the United States. 

“Probable cause can be established through questioning of individuals who disclose their immigration status or documentation that indicates they are noncitizens,” the NILC says.

Social media, and especially the leftist synchronized media are driving the hysteria.  My wife finished her immigration journey under Trump (naturalization), and it was no issue.
