One thing that is apparent from ICE & SAVE Act discourse: Republican legislators & executive branch folks, who have staff do everything for them, have no idea what a Real ID is.
It shows how out of touch they are with average Americans.

Markwayne Mullin defends "show me your papers": "If you're here legally, there's nothing to hide. Most people already are walking around with a government-issued ID, meaning your Real ID or your driver's license. If you go board a train here, you gotta show your ID."

I like neither Ezra Klein nor shouting down speakers. I think Ezra Klein profits, metaphorically and literally, by being shouted down by Sarah Lawrence students, and that doing it to him was more or less like trying to discourage a dog by throwing bacon at it.

Just installed dashcams & signed up for ICE observer training because ICE just set up a field office and is misbehaving around our schools.
Is that what the working families in the US want? In your district?

Press conferences and social media posts have not changed conditions on the ground. Another person taken today off of Central Ave and Northeast middle school had to delay letting kids leave because of ICE presence in the area. The federal government continues to make our community less safe.
