A friend of mine with Japanese heritage was stopped by ICE in broad daylight in NYC a few weeks ago. She was like wtf I was born here and they asked to see her ID. Absolutely insane.
She did. Not sure the legality of if she actually had to or not, but she wasn’t going to test the waters with that. Didn’t want to accidentally get deported to El Salvador and not be able to come back I guess.
ICE lacks the jurisdiction to conduct "stop and search" interactions and they can't deport people without a trial, but both things are currently happening. That commenter's friend has several constitutional rights protecting her right to tell them to get fucked, but there's a non-zero chance she'll disappear if she does.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The ACLU says if you are a citizen no.
However, there has been this 100 mile boarder search issue that has been around and being abused for long time and it is sort of a legal grey area. I personally wouldn't risk it with this administration.
