Legal immigrants - Carry your papers - Fines for not having your papers will increase from $100 to $5000-

If you know a legal immigrant. Please pass this information on to them!!

In April, the Trump administration is expected to increase the associated fines from $100 to $5,000, Campbell Walker said. Failing to possess documentation is a misdemeanor. That could now land an immigrant in detention and deportation proceedings; Trump revoked the Biden administration’s immigration enforcement priorities so that even people charged with nonviolent, minor crimes can now be deported.

because he was just taking a walk. We was supposedly looking in garages (a action which the cops never saw and no account says he actually ever left the sidewalk). Cops accosted him and put hands on him. He naturally pulled away. The cop body slammed him and broke his neck. Because the man wasn't carrying his papers, the cop skated on all criminal charges.

It's almost ironic that part of the reason we are here is because a cop finally faced consequences - Chauvin - When people decided to stand together - The racists came back harder. Same for the Me Too Movement. I don't think it's a coincidence that after The Me Too Movement and The BLM movement that we are seeing the rights of women and minorities stripped away.
