Aye, they did that thing we all told you they’d do.
Dude, this guy knew well before you did. He’s very likely not a trump voter. You’re thinking of Trump voters… They are creatures, not people. This guy is a person.
i can’t make sense of this comment in this context, which is to say a Native man sharing the story of his arrest, and your statement which suggests he deserved it?
the leopards comments are moving from unhelpful to actively harmful, from my point of view. you’re participating in the further dehumanization of one of the most historically oppressed peoples in this country.

“Says here you’re from…NEW MEXICO! HAH! GOTCHA! I KNEW YOU WERE A MEXICAN!”
I live in NM. It’s going to all out war when ice comes here. There’s tons of natives that live here.
Ok, good. I’m glad that happened. Because now my suspicion is more solid. Not that this happened but we have new information.
They don’t give a flying fuck about your “papers.” I don’t recommend walking around with a birth certificate or social security card. Your passport is questionable too.
Why? Because they will take them, and say you had none anyway. Suddenly you are no longer who you say you are to any things that need them.
They have arrest quotas, not identification quotas.
At least many native Americans have land on which they can retreat and which they can defend.
Yes because historically Native Americans have had success defending their land against violent imperialist invaders.
There aren’t any reservations in China. So… But in all seriousness if anyone is interested in the history of native conflicts with the US government, Blood Struggle is a pretty good starting point. Several tribes fought the US military to a standstill and occupy their ancestral lands (or at least a significant portion of them). Navajo Nation is larger than the Netherlands.
Not for long
Miller wasn’t only talking about Greenland when he said “To control a territory, you have to be able to defend a territory".
I think it’s safe to say the literal best thing to do when confronted by ICE is to try and leave, they will just ignore any identification and it’s better to not be caught alone, have some people near you and work on cardio if you can; of course this doesn’t help much with the door-to-door shit, so having emergency+legal contacts is also very important
