ICE Detains Citizen While Newsweek Asks, 'Is She Though?'
Newsweek recently reported that ICE detained a Maryland woman, citing DHS’s denial of her U.S. citizenship, despite her lawyer insisting otherwise. The story, delivered with all the urgency of a grocery list, manages to 'both sides' the fundamental right to liberty for an American citizen. One might recall similar administrative 'errors' during the Bush-era renditions, where due process
conveniently vanished for those deemed undesirable. The media’s role isn't merely to report what DHS says, but to press on why a birth certificate from Maryland is suddenly insufficient proof of citizenship. This isn't about 'claims'; it's about whether government agencies can unilaterally strip birthright without constitutional due process. The framing alone is an endorsement of state power over
individual rights. Perhaps we all need to carry our birth certificates everywhere, just in case DHS decides our existence is up for debate.
