What surprises me most about this encounter is that ICE actually backed off when they saw the guy’s proof of citizenship. It means they actually feared punishment for getting it wrong.
And I will remind everyone who has any melanin at all to get a Passport Card. That’s what this guy likely had, and it was the best $30 he ever spent. Get yours now, before they get DOGEd.
And this is the issue with the people saying “only citizens deserve due process”… If you don’t get due process, how are you supposed to prove you’re a citizen?
Things may already be getting iffy at the state department. My wife and I both put in passport renewal requests on the same day in February. She got her new passport in the mail about 2 weeks later. Mine took another 6 weeks.

I assume they were hired before this administration. Those hired by the current administrarion would be a lot worse.
For now. I fully expect them to start saying “this is fake” and confiscating it and arresting you, regardless of its actual validity.
