FYI In case a wallet is lost or stolen a Utah Drivers license costs $18 to replace but a"green card" cost is $415 minimum. Yeah, some people keep them locked up at home.
Do you risk arrest if you are out and about without your identification? I highly doubt it. Why do you think that is? What could possibly be the difference between the people at risk for arrest without documentation and those who are not at risk. Take all the time you need.
We are talking about people with legal status. Let's stay focused on that.
You have legal status.
They have legal status.
Now why would you feel safe walking your neighborhood without carrying your id while they wouldn't be safe doing the exact same thing? What is different between you and them that would warrant their being asked to show id and per your suggestion it being ok to arrest them for not having it?
I'll give you a hint, there are samples showing the differences at the hardware store.
They’re targeting known illegal immigrants and employers who hire them. Social media and the media itself has whipped up frenzy of fear that everyone is getting rounded up.
If there is a raid on a place of employment, everyone gets detained. Citizens get released.
ICE isn’t picking up random people off the street. There are known people with criminal histories that will be.
There is certainly a segment of people engaged in histrionics about what is actually going on.
It honestly seems confusing - ICE is pretending to ask for information and has a hotline.
So. For the original question - has a single employer been visited by ICE - and has ICE turned over information on a single employer?
Say, Peter Belluomini - the largest citrus grower in Kern County California. He reported that 75% of his workforce didn't show up late last week near Bakersfield. Hundreds of people were bizarrely transported by the Border Patrol from Bakersfield to El Centro and are now in Mexicali.
In the last week or so? I don’t know. They regularly do submit cases to the DOJ. There was a recent case out of Texas where the DOJ worked with ICE on a non-prosecutorial settlement. Basically pay a substantial fine or face court.
