I am a US citizen, and I don’t have a passport. I’m white, so I don’t have anything to worry about. I have an adopted sister who is Hispanic though, and she doesn’t have one either. I’ve been trying to convince her to get one and keep it on her person.
We live in a red state, so we’re not an ICE hot spot like Chicago is. But they are still around. They are everywhere.
If she gets arrested and released, that would be bad. But how many people are being disappeared to foreign countries they aren’t even from? That’s my biggest fear
Valid fear. Though, I suspect that if that is happening, it likely doesn’t matter if she’s legal or not. She’s still brown. Which is clearly the criteria they’re working with.
And just so we’re clear, I’m NOT defending their actions. I’m just defining how they think. I happen to think how they think is disgusting.
