Rueben Antonio Cruz was sitting with a friend in Rogers Park when ICE agents pulled up onto the street.
The immigration officers stopped their truck and went straight after them on Oct. 9, Cruz told the Tribune.
“They asked us if we have papers. I said I do but I don’t have them on me,” Cruz, a 60-year old man with heart problems originally from El Salvador, recalled in Spanish.
The agents stood Cruz up, put him in their truck, drove around in circles, and asked questions, he said.
I think the IRL version just dropped
Region locked on the US (for now :/)
Don’t some European countries have mandatory ID laws?
Yeah, we had them forever.
For me, the only practical consequence has been that when I forgot my driving licence at home, I could show my ID and the cop at the traffic stop could check my licence status.
Having mandatory ID isn’t not the same as having to carry them everywhere and surrender it to a random masked guy.
No, it just allows you to be easily identified by the masked people when they start asking! The slippery slope of handing your liberties away. Look at the pride you have in your own. It always starts somewhere but it ends the same. The people fighting for power right now are not interested in regional control
As opposed to being disappeared without identification just based on your skin colour.
