No document will protect you. All they have to do is take it from you and "lose" it; take it from you and say you never gave it to them; claim it's fake ⬇️; make a new rule that you need ANOTHER document. Citizenship is a made-up status that governments decide the rules for. No one is free until all.
Dulce Consuelo Diaz Morales was born in Maryland. She has a valid U.S. birth certificate, medical and immunization records, and sworn affidavits.
Yet, ICE claims her documents are “not authentic” and has held her in immigration detention for days.

A central part of ICE's strategy here is to keep detainees hungry and thirsty in squalor to incentivize them to sign self-deportation papers to escape their inhumane conditions. And of course, they also lie to their captives about what they are signing.
Agustin Zamacona, who speaks and reads English, further says an agent in Broadview tried to get him to sign a self-deportation form by telling him it was court paperwork.
"I saw they weren't court papers, they were for deportation, so I didn't sign it," he says.

Police once charged a man w assaulting a cop bc of the liquid he “threw” on the cop.
The liquid? The man’s blood. Which was flying off his face. Which the cop had just punched.
Far too often the cops arrest ppl for the harms done by the police.
I’m hoping we are seeing a critical overreach now.

Kat is being federally charged by the FBI for protesting at Broadview.
This is a flagrant political prosecution by the Trump administration, which is trying to prevent free speech and free association.
I am proud of Kat. Her movement is being targeted by the government. She needs your support.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.
Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:
* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled
* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages
