Venegas was detained twice in May and June during immigration raids on private construction sites, despite being a U.S.
And in both instances officers allegedly retrieved Venegas’ Alabama-issued REAL ID from his pocket but claimed it could be fake
Probably trying to use Real ID as a scapegoat. The real problem is the “papers please” racists / authoritarian round ups.
Gotta get all them irises into a database so the grunts can scan you on-site. Maybe use an orb or something to do the scan and give people some crypto in exchange.
Almost like it’s too complicated to be solved on the street during random stops…
Side note:
Next round of IDs can we stop putting addresses on there?
If a cop needs to know your address, they can view that when scanning it. It doesn’t need to be printed on there for anybody to see. And most people rent and don’t update anyways.
Even DOB too, just have a pass/fail for 21. No one needs your exact date of birth.
It’s crazy we put all that info on there.
To no one’s surprise.
