Isn’t the whole point of RealID that it has RFID embedded in it to make it harder to fake? (Edit: No, not all of them do.)
Let’s stop pretending ICE cares about any of it. It’s like asking “Why did Gestapo send this guy to Auschwitz? He had valid papers”.
I don’t think that it has RFID embedded into it (mine doesn’t look like it does when I hold it up to the light).
I think the main thing with Real ID is the standardized identity proofing required to get one, how that identity info is verified, and the fact that the info is shared between states/federal level.
It looks like EDLs all have RFID in them

But it looks like they have come up with a “standard” RealID that does not include the chip.
Ah, okay. I forgot EDL’s were a thing since they weren’t available in my state.
authorities took his ID from his wallet and told him it was fake before handcuffing him.
Yeah, we will knew they’d start claiming that for any non-whites :/
“It’s about race now. It’s not about whether you are here legally or not,” she said.
It was always about race.
“It’s not about race” = White US Citizen dissidents are next
(They just detained a Danish immigrant during Citizenship Interview)
If you think this will stop at immigrants then you’re just very naive.
Nazis also started with queer people, and Jews then political opponents like the communists and independence fighters like two of my great grandfathers in Silesia (they were pure Germans) at the end anyone who didn’t fall in line.
They just detained a White (Danish) Immigrant.
So I read the article. It appears he failed to submit a required document for when you marry a US citizen. And the rules state that if you fail to file it, you can be subject to removal. Having said that, the form says you can file an appeal in a written explaination if it was of no fault of your own or due to some extraordinary circumstance that you failed to file that document.
Now with the current administration, I’m not sure if filing that appeal at this stage would do anything. What the case manager said was also true, that if it was the previous administration, he might have been given more leeway to rectify the error.
The article also doesn’t state if he had an immigration attorney guide him through the process, and I suspect he didn’t and he was doing all his immigration paperwork by himself and it was an unfortunate error of not being completely aware of all the steps of a very complicated process.
I’m not trying to argue with you, just providing some context.
Since the US is a country of laws where the administration itself stringently follows the rules, this makes sense.
Like I said, I’m just providing context on why he was flagged, not justifying what happened to him after the fact.
Nazi persecution began with the disabled.
Yes, you’re right that slipped my mind but you’re totally right.
Everyone is lalalala while the same playbook repeats over and over.

His brother signed a deportation order. He’s not going back to his own country, is he?
Who are you asking about?
