    So many things wrong with this headline.

    • It is ‘nearly impossible to escape’ FOR ANYONE, not just US citizens. By design.
    • You can be in the US legitimately without being a citizen.
    • ANY AND EVERY detainment by ICE is wrongful.
    • You are not legally required to provide ID to authorities. In some states you can be compelled to provide your full name and possibly your address, ONLY if there is reasonable suspicion against you.
