    Better make sure you always have your passport and birth certificate on you. And even then, that might not protect you.

      Won’t work. That kind of evidence would be presented at a trial. For your average ICE agent, your documentation, and lack of criminal record makes it obvious that you have ties to a powerful street gang who is hiding your crimes.

      This is literally what ICE has argued in the past few months.

        Yeah. They literally said that that the lack of evidence is actually the evidence, and that it is proof of a hyperintelligent criminal who has lead a life of crime without ever being caught. And that is why they have no criminal records… because they are criminals who haven’t been caught yet!

      You should probably also make sure to have a copy at home in case they take it from you

      I haven been to the US since the end of 2019.

      I’m a citizen, but live abroad with my wife. I will be visiting my family this fall and I’m so happy my birth certificate is here. I’m totally bringing it with me just to be safe.

        Is your wife from a background that could be remotely linked to something “bad” by crazy radicals?

        that basically boils down to being from any part of the world that constitutes as Brown, Socialist, Controlled by China, or Controlled by Europe, in the Radical’s view.
