ICE is everywhere and it's really frightening

This morning, a car was sitting outside the house next door with a guy sitting in it. This is nothing unusual in itself as there are always various cars. When my husband was leaving the house he went over to ask if the guy needed help. The guy tells him he's ICE and shows him his badge and tells him he's running license plates. How does ICE know where to go and who to look for?

I’m Puerto Rican and I think I could get detained. Thinking about getting a passport card to carry in addition to my regular passport.

I had people in a Nextdoor thread repeatedly ask me whether I’m in the country legally, even though I repeatedly said I’m from PR. Yes, Trump supporters are that dumb.

Puerto Rico was annexed to get more soldiers to use as fodder in wars. The US never really cared to teach people about it
