Yeah any citizenship proof would come out of due process. Without it, its just whoever they want to not be a citizen. Fame is about the only thing that might help you.
Comment on YSK: Do you have documents to prove you are a US citizen? If not, here's how

Not to discount this helpful and important information but, for the people you’re trying to direct this to, I genuinely don’t think it matters. This administration has thrown out habeas corpus and due process. And they have done this because a substantial portion of the population voted in favor of kicking people out who don’t look like them. It’s called Nationalism. And with that comes Fascism.
The core identity of the United States is disintegrating by public opinion. The one thing that brought pride to generations of Americans is being driven out and replaced with the same reasons people had left other countries in favor of the US. It’s gut-wrenching.
So, yeah, get your papers but don’t let it fool you into believing it protects you.
Hah - also funny to look at “only about 50% of US citizens have a passport” to understand exactly why we’ve turned into Nationalists.

I think only 50% of people have passports is because most people can’t afford to travel and a bunch of them that do just wanted to visit Canada or Mexico

Until 9/11 we could visit Canada and Mexico with a drivers license or birth certificate and 3/4 of the time only the driver has to show theirs and just vouch for the whole car.
We drove through southern Ontario probably 20 times in the more 80s alone.

Which is also why “self deport” is such a scam. Even were it moral to tell anyone to do that, how are they supposed to board a plane to go to another country without passport or visa?
