      “If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, they promptly let the individual go,”

      This quote by Kavanaugh is a false statement, and probably a lie. Lots of permanent residents with valid green cards and people with valid visas are getting abducted by ICE, and then their visa or green card is simply revoked for no reason. Then they are deported.

        I’d like him to tell that to my coworker, who is here legally and got swept up by ICE last month. He’s still being held in an upstate detention facility. Hey Kavanaugh, get yerself a plane ticket bro!

        Haven’t there been cases where not only are the ICEstapo demanding “your papers” (which is not at all the least bit chilling in a supposedly free nation), but then they confiscate the document(s) and kidnap the person anyway?
