Do you think this will just stop with immigrants? Do you think racist cops are going to care if brown people are here legally or not? Do you think they'll even care if they have an ID with them?

I didn't say it was in full swing, I said it begins.

This sounds very tinfoil hat-ish.

Not saying I don't somewhat agree with what youre getting at, but you sound like you think the world is already over, or that not a single moral is left on earth.

It's not tinfoil hat-ish at all. It has happened more than once already.

There's a difference between what's been labeled as "a mistake" per the article you shared and what you're alluding as by intention.

Also, semi-related. It's important I think to mention US citizenship is broken into 3 types: US Citizen, Naturalized US Citizen, and Non Citizen. This is more likely to be a problem for Naturalized Citizens than US born. Each is different in their own ways.

from a linked article

Victims include a landscaper snatched in a Home Depot parking lot in Rialto and held for days despite his son’s attempts to show agents the man’s U.S. passport; a New York resident locked up for more than three years fighting deportation efforts after a federal agent mistook his father for someone who wasn’t a U.S. citizen; and a Rhode Island housekeeper mistakenly targeted twice, resulting in her spending a night in prison the second time even though her husband had brought her U.S. passport to a court hearing.

kinda hard to believe they're just mistakes, if the article to be believed.

What exactly do you think that difference is going to be going forward?

But I can see you're making excuses for these fascists and their genocidal plans, so I think this is a fruitless discussion.
