Comment on YSK: Do you have documents to prove you are a US citizen? If not, here's how

ICE is not asking people for proof of citizenship. They are pulling up in unmarked vehicles, wearing masks, and grabbing people off the street.
I agree you should make sure you do have proof. But don't expect it to stop armed masked thugs if they roll up for you.

I know it is possible for some people to get a second, valid passport if they travel often enough, so that they can travel when one is being renewed, or if they travel between countries where a visa stamp from some other country might deny them entry.
Maybe “I look brown so ICE may confiscate my passport without due process” can now be a reason to get a second valid passport …

Elsewhere in a comment someone mentioned Passport Cards. iirc they’re only valid for travel to Mexico and Canada, but they are proofs of citizenship, and you can have a card as well as a passport.

Its the passport that also works for domestic air travel now that they banned drivers’ licenses.
It does not have your address on it, so its a safer document to use to prove your age.

* banned drivers licenses that don’t meet the requirements that have had their implementation date pushed back repeatedly for a decade+. We will do anything and everything but have an actual national ID.
I don’t think any drivers licenses count as proof of citizenship though. (Even before, as noted, factoring in that they’re not looking.)
