Which is beside the point. We have been sold a form of ID--REAL ID--as a proof of citizenship. In fact it is written into the new laws in states requiring proof of citizenship to vote. Now we are told that it never really did prove citizenship and that it is too easily faked to be reliable. E-verify? No, that is also to easily faked to be reliable. Now what? A passport? I was at first refused a REAL ID because the State of North Carolina does not regard a valid US passport as proof of citizenship. I.ve been using it as an ID to vote, just out of snark, but every time it produces a muted conference of polling place officials and requires at least one phone call, and that before the proof of citizenship law comes into effect. Another fun fact, the new format of REAL ID issued by North Carolina doesn't work in TSA card readers and the data from the card has to be entered manually. I wonder some times of you know what is really going on with all this. Whining about how Democrats want to keep criminal gangsters, murderers, rapists theives in the country is beginning to dsound like demented raving.
Welcome to the wonderful world of government. I'm not the one whining. You are. I haven't whined a single time about Real ID not proving citizenship or e-verify not being reliable. You guys are the ones continually whining about people having to verify their identity tity when being picked up in an ILLEGAL ALIEN raid.

Why the whole LA riots and No Ki is events are nothing but whine fests.

Thats something else entirely. You so desperately want the government to go above and beyond to verify someone is a violent criminal before deporting them, which can take months or even years for the process to work.its way out, but then turn around and whine about the government wanting to verify citizenship that happens to take a couple of hours.

Not above and beyond, just regular due process which all too often does take too much time. One of the reasons it takes too long is that there simply aren't enough immigration judges. If the government is deporting someone for being a violent criminal, then, yes, they have to have sufficient evidence of that and they have to allow the person to defend themself and answer their accusers - should they contest their arrest, detention and/or deportation/incarceration.

Nope you want them to go above and beyond what the immigration law requires.

You view yourself as an expert on immigration law?
Yup. An expert for sure. Studied it for years and almost became an immigration attorney for the gubment.

Okay maybe not, but I have read a ton of it especially due to these conversations and demands for due process.

You needed your birth certificate to prove that you are you...not that you are a citizen.
That may be, but I was told that I needed it to prove I was a citizen, that a passport wouldn't do it, Now, those clerks were wrong, and that makes my point. If we are supposed to be able to prove our citizenship on demand and on the spot or risk being cuffed and roughed up we're in a bad spot.

Which part of the due process I described is either above or beyond what the immigration law requires that is not basic constitutional rights?

Why would you think ICE would seize and destroy a passport?
They’ve been acting completely above the law and unaccountable to anyone. At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if they reject someone’s passport and arrest them anyway.

But of all the arrests they've made, how many examples do we have of them rejecting positive identifications, even Real IDs? What is the percentage of actual incidents?

I've got my intelligence analyst hat on here: What do we actually know versus what do we just think?

Dozens we know about. It seems to be a routine procedure. Here is a recent example:

Bad example.

Lemus refused to provide his ID because the agents didn't tell him more details. Legal officials say it is within his rights to refuse to show his ID since the agents were demanding it without any reasonable suspicion or probable cause.

This is a bad example because Lemus was driving at the time, and courts have ruled that when a person is driving, they must show ID when demanded. That's something that we black men are constantly reminded of. "You look like someone we are searching for" is considered probable cause for a stop.

Only when a the stop is made for some real-sounding reason. You can't just flag people down arbitrarily and demand they prove their citizenship on the spot. Or maybe you can, now.

"You resemble a current suspect" is a court-accepted reason for a stop.

If you follow someone, you can find a reason to stop them, like failing to signal for 300 feet in advance of changing lanes, etc.

No, not even close. Here, in the instant case, a mistake was made, in assuming an ID was fake. These guys are overworked because of the millions who flooded in unvetted, which never should have happened and would not happen under competent leadership. This man, a citizen, was released when he verified his identity. A mistake was made. I'm sure he will still sue, perhaps be compensated, and make the left wing round of opinion shows. Of course that didn't stop the false accusations of "racism".
These guys have been doxed left and right- online and flyers posted. Yeah, they are probably a bit touchy. Maybe don't be antagonistic. Didn't we all learn that from traffic stops? "Yes officer."
I don’t think it was a mistake to begin with because the article describes the veteran immediately presenting his ID when they entered the premises, and that’s when they refused to look at it. Standard operating procedure on a sting operation is to secure all suspects first, then collect information. So I think the article is just focused on intentionally misrepresenting the facts of the situation because as we all know the media are nothing but a bunch of liars these days. You don’t start checking IDs as soon as you walk in the door when you’re expecting to make multiple arrests of multiple suspects. According to the article is doesn’t appear that the veteran was actually taken into custody otherwise the author and the mayor would’ve most definitely paraded that information in the article. They’re both simply misrepresenting the facts in order to push their agenda because they’re both liars who want to distort the truth to gain support for their cause.

Okay, if I'm mistaken, exactly what is the due process that should be followed when picking up an illegal alien and deporting them?
