A reminder that most Americans who are life-long citizens have nothing OTHER than a Real ID to prove their citizenship. This is CBP’s chief enforcer saying that ID doesn’t count.
Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

President Trump’s “pardon” of Tina Peters has no more authority than the plastic Sheriff badge from a box of Cracker Jacks. Unless SCOTUS creates a sweeping new presidential power.
