My go-to question when people defend this shit is to ask them to prove to me they're a citizen on the spot.
Not many people even have a passport, much less carry one at all times.
Pro Tip: for an extra $30, you can get a Passport Card in addition to your passport. It is only valid as a travel document for land and sea travel within North America, but has the same proof of citizenship as a passport book. Everyone who is in the wrong half of the "Peter Griffin in a Fez" scale should carry it on their person at all times.
Yes, the ICE agent will say it's fake, and confiscate it, but at least you can keep your passport book in a safe place for your family to bring to the detention center to try and get you out.
Thanks for the info. I'm on the okay side, but my wife and kids are not. A redundancy of documentation is the way to go. I just hope it matters.
The whole thing is about scaring people into self-deporting. They're also coming after people like your family with the SCOTUS decision on the 14th amendment that'll drop this summer. If you want to stay together as a unit, looking at moving back to her home nation is the only actual guarantee at this stage. Sorry, brother... this shit is fucked.

Thanks, bud. Luckily citizenship isn't the issue (sorry, I meant naturalization for others, not for us), but profiling is still a problem. My wife was adopted by naturalized citizens and I'm a US citizen born abroad. We should be okay under normal circumstances. I'm just worried about harassment by ICE and DHS.
Relevent: Korean Adoptees that got deported because their stupid adoptive parents didn't file paperworks.
