10 lines ICE tries to blur (from the video analysis above)10 lines ICE tries to blur (from the video analysis above)

1. Turning a voluntary conversation into “you’re not free to go.”
2. Turning “Do you have ID?” into “You must show ID.”
3. Turning silence into probable cause (“won’t answer = guilty”).
4. Turning a question into a search (getting you to hand over info they didn’t earn).
5. Turning “Where are you from?” into a status interrogation.
6. Turning “Just step over here” into physical control (positioning, separation, containment).
7. Turning refusal into “resisting” (treating boundaries as aggression).
8. Turning a hunch into “reasonable suspicion” (no facts, just intuition + pressure).
9. Turning your home/sidewalk into their controlled zone (they set the rules because they’re present).
10. Turning “because I said so” into law (authority as proof, instead of receipts).
