The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Really?

You have a state issued official driver's license or non-driver I.D. and you're saying ICE can't or doesn't verify identity based on that?

You sure about that?

How many U.S. citizens carry a valid state driver's license or non-driver's license I.D., and NOT HAVING COMMITTED any crimes such as interfering with an ICE operation, or assisting an illegal alien in evading capture, have been "held by ICE for several days"?

There would be lots of news reports about this sort of thing, wouldn't there?

You do realize a lot of ICE agents are themselves non-white, don't you?

Provide some examples please? Even 1?

The 9 car wash people detained a couple of weeks ago in Allston MA are all non-citizens and all in violation of some aspect of immigration law. That's why that particular story was quickly shoved down the memory hole and now you're spinning tales about something else.

So, this is all prompted by a U.S. citizen, with a U.S. passport, who doesn't think his state issued driver's license or I.D. is good enough. But we don't have enough information--does he even have a driver's license? We don't know.
