  1. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem defended ICE agents who are demanding that Americans prove they are U.S. citizens in Minneapolis amid escalating tensions.

    The DHS secretary spoke with reporters outside the White House and was questioned on why Americans were being asked to prove citizenship and whether she was advising Americans to carry proof of citizenship.

    “In every situation, we are doing targeted enforcement. If we are on a target and doing an operation, there may be individuals surrounding that criminal that we may be asking who they are and why they’re there and validate their identity,” Noem claimed. “That’s what we’ve always done in asking people who they are so that we know who’s in those surroundings.”

  2. The “Don’t Tread On Me” crowd is very quiet.

    They still think the fascism will only affect “those people.”

    Republicans with “don’t tread on me” flags flying on their front porch: “this is fine.”

    Translation: “Just prove you’re the good white or adjacent to whiteness and we’ll STILL harm you because you made us feel bad for calling out our wrongness. You exist only to make us feel special; nothing more. ”

    America is still paying for the crime of reconciling with enslavers instead of ridding itself of them. 

    And as much as I depsie the neoliberal charlatans that call themselves the DNC, “her laugh was weird” was never the excuse. 

    Too many among you SHATTERED at the reality that the progeny of Humans that were once expected to property/ inferior WERE BETTER THAN YOU. 

    Now, rot. 

    Edit: grammar

    So, for the 50% of Americans without a US passport, stuff a backpack full of gas bills, social security statements, and years of tax filings. I’m sure the ICE agent will be smart enough to sort that out.

    In Washington we had this billboard off the main freeway owned by some MAGAt. It was reader board with Uncle Sam on it and it would always have some stupid conservativism on it. For like the past 2 years it was stuck on “My ancestors didn’t die in WW2 so they could show their papers at the grocery store” or something to that effect. Fuckin ironic. However I hear that dude recently died and now Native Americans took it over

    But giving people healthcare is government tyranny right?

    What a horrible time to be alive.

    Fuck off. I don’t have to show these ghouls shit. ICE are the ones who need to identify themselves and show us their papers, they shouldn’t forget they work FOR us.

    Say this in a german accent

    “Show me your papers!”

    She is the new wave nazis america used to hate

    There is no federal law that requires American citizens to carry proof of citizenship at all times. Some types of travel, some applications for certain benefits. But walking down the street? Nope, none.

  11. Cool beans. We’re entering the “your papers, please” phase of our descent into Nazi hell.

    I guess next on the agenda will be the blue ‘D’ badges democrats/non-MAGAs will be required to affix to our clothing.

    These idiots complained about Covid papers now they’re totally open with fascism

    she needs to be removed from office and imprisoned for her crimes against the people.

  14. The problem with this is that they picked up American citizens who did show their ID and they were still taken and because ICE didn’t believe their ID was real.

    Ice barbie can also fuck off a 5 story building too. While walking on legos and cactuses.

    She’s so much of a sadistic bitch that she would probably like it too.

  16. How can we prove citizenship offhand? They said RealIDs don’t count. They’ve said birth certificates don’t count. They’ve said social security cards don’t count. Passports don’t count because ‘they can be faked’. What’s left? What ‘proof of citizenship’ actually counts?

    It’s almost like they don’t care if you’re a citizen or not and just want to make it impossible for you to defend it since that would give you those pesky things called ‘rights’….

  17. totalkpolitics on

    Um….this sorry excuse for a human cannot change the law.

    All of us can tell ICE “fuck you I won’t do what you tell me” and if they do anything, they are breaking the law, not us.

    “Fuck these Nazi pricks
    Who the fuck do they think they are?
    We can’t claim this is our land
    When we ourselves are immigrants”

  18. aircooledJenkins on

    Lets say I was going to comply an carry documents to prove my citizenship…

    ICE has said they’re able to declare ID, Birth Certificates, Passports, etc… as “false” so… what the fuck is a person “supposed” to do to prove citizenship?

    Be white? Probably.

  19. TheOnlyVertigo on

    Remember, this is the person who has said that REAL ID’s that we are required to have in order to fly without a passport in the US are “not sufficient to prove citizenship” despite the fact that in order to get one you literally have to prove you are a citizen.

    They are looking for any reason to be able to detain and disenfranchise us, and the people they’ll be targeting are people that don’t vote for them.

  20. I dare the next journalist who encounters her to be like “Right now, without going to another location, show me your proof of US citizenship”.

    Because I’ll bet my bottom dollar she lacks the necessary paperwork on her person at any given time.

  21. No_Caramel_1782 on

    Remember when it was nice living in the US? Despite all of our problems this used to be a nice place to live. And it was for my entire life. That is no longer the case.

  22. Never gonna get over the fact that these people have done literally every single thing they accused the opposition of wanting to do like it was a fucking checklist.

  23. I’m 36yo. I’ve never walked around with my birth certificate and I’m sure as shit not going to start now. Fuck ICE, the bunch of nazis.

  24. MAGA: “No national federal identification, thats a federal overreach and will result in a police state!”

    Also MAGA: “We should demand everyone carry documents around at all times to prove citizenship to us!”

  25. Suck my fucking dick. I’m a naturalized citizen since 2004. Came here as a refuge in 99 from eastern Europe. My English is so good that people who’ve worked with me for 2 years are shocked to hear me speak Russian.

    Pull up and ask me for my papers. I’ll put on my thickest accent possible and waste your fucking time.

  26. The 17-year old who was abducted from his job at Target had his US passport on him. ICE didn’t give a f’ck. They beat him then dumped him bloody and crying at Walmart.
