US citizens and permanent residents: how do you feel about the possibility of being racially profiled by Ice agents?

"On 8 September, the supreme court's conservative majority temporarily lifted restrictions on roving immigration patrols across the Los Angeles area after a lower court found that federal agents were indiscriminately targeting people on the basis of race, language, employment or location. Immigration advocates warned that the court has effectively legalized racial profiling and opened the door to a broader unraveling of civil rights protections nationwide."

"Amid ramped up immigration enforcement in cities and communities across the US, and in light of the supreme court decision, some US citizens of color have decided to change the way they live their day to day lives for fear of being detained carrying identification cards at all times or choosing not to speak languages other than English in public."
