In the era of slavery, free black people had to carry their "free papers" with them so they could prove to the authorities that they were free, or else they would be thrown in jail and sold.
BASH: If ICE says it doesn't arrest US citizens, why do we keep seeing incidents of them aggressively pursuing citizens?
HOMAN: I can't tell you how many times an illegal alien claims to be a US citizen. It happens all the time.

Five score and five years ago, the entire Black population of a Central Florida town disappeared virtually overnight.
Forreal.
Black people were one-third of the population there. For scale, that would be like the entire Black population of Lousiana being gone tomorrow.
What happened? 🤔
