    The thing is, unfortunately, they’ll call your drivers license fake and disappear you all the same if their app says you’re not legal. Apparently their facial recognition app is never wrong and no matter what documentation you may have on you at the time, if the app says you’re going on a plane to El Salvador, well buddy I got bad fuckin news for ya.

      You are absolutely correct. They’ve already done it .

      Leonardo García Venegas, a Florida-born U.S. citizen with a REAL ID, was forcibly arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at an Alabama construction site after agents claimed his identification was “fake,” Venegas told Noticias Telemundo in Spanish on Friday.
