He wasn't detained bc he wasn't a citizen. He was detained bc he was obstructing ICE. I did look it up and found out why he had been detained.OK, but if you're just assuming that it's fake and misleading, and declaring that to people as if you know, you are clearly the most biased person in the equation.
That guy in that video you said was fake is a citizen. Look it up.
Link?

Leonardo Venegas case: DHS says Alabama man obstructed ICE arrest after damning video emerges
The Leonardo Garcia Venegas case took a major turn after DHS revealed that ICE agents were not trying to arrest the Alabama man.www.hindustantimes.com
I agree with the Real ID part. Why are we even getting these if they will simply be ignored as to whether they are "authentic" or not.And here's the part you really don't get...the most important aspect of that video is that they didn't believe the Real ID was real. Even if they are justified in detaining him, these guys who we are trusting with incredible power to disrupt the lives of people living here in this country based on the idea that they can tell who is a citizen using Real ID, cannot tell who is a citizen.
One: I was talking about leftists around the country, not specific people on VN.You talking about people on VN? Who? Name them?
Let's be real, a vaccination card for certain travel privileges and having to carry ID just so you're not illegally detained are two very different Americas.
WTF is that link?
My link you replied to mentioned this statement, so I'm aware of the DHS CYA. I don't believe ICE. Where's the video?
One reason why I don't believe the DHS spokersperson is she didn't directly deny the allegation that he was detained because they thought his real ID was fake. Her statement was an evasion of a definite answer.

Have warrants. Show warrants. Act like law enforcement and not Stasi. Stop with the masked kidnappings off the street and stop with dressing up like soldiers unless it's justified.
If that was the case, it'd be because I'm not living slippery slope, future-tense fear-mongering.@Orange_Crush in regards to #27,849
you realize the "Hasn't gone wrong yet" was YOUR argument, not mine.
how is it a poor decision to NOT carry around your passport, social security card, or birth certificate in the US if you are a US citizen?
we are supposed to be the land of the free. not the home of Documented and Tracked.
yall really don't care about rights, you just care about how much power Trump can give himself.
it is ENTIRELY the fault of the system that the default is that citizens have to prove their innocence to remain un-detained.
