    There’s a difference between what’s been labeled as “a mistake” per the article you shared and what you’re alluding as by intention.

    Also, semi-related. It’s important I think to mention US citizenship is broken into 3 types: US Citizen, Naturalized US Citizen, and Non Citizen. This is more likely to be a problem for Naturalized Citizens than US born. Each is different in their own ways.

      from a linked article

      Victims include a landscaper snatched in a Home Depot parking lot in Rialto and held for days despite his son’s attempts to show agents the man’s U.S. passport; a New York resident locked up for more than three years fighting deportation efforts after a federal agent mistook his father for someone who wasn’t a U.S. citizen; and a Rhode Island housekeeper mistakenly targeted twice, resulting in her spending a night in prison the second time even though her husband had brought her U.S. passport to a court hearing.

      kinda hard to believe they’re just mistakes, if the article to be believed.

      What exactly do you think that difference is going to be going forward?

      But I can see you’re making excuses for these fascists and their genocidal plans, so I think this is a fruitless discussion.
