I was hoping to find a statement from the aggressor, but it seems to be too early.

    It is not uncommon, I was almost arrested when I moved to PA because I did not have a passport, or visa, or green card to go with my NM ID that clearly says USA on it for this very reason. Our license plates also say USA on them.

    Maryland also refused me a license twice saying that I needed proof I am a citizen, despite having my NM birth certificate.

    I also had two other distributors tell me they do not sell to Mexico.

    The president elect also has made the mistake. He said we need a border wall between Mexico and Colorado.

      I had problems with TSA before because my real ID confused them and they didn’t believe it was a valid US ID. Granted, this was at a regional airport, but it’s literally the ID that complies with requirements set by Homeland Security for the specific purpose of use in airports by TSA.

      Edit: and my ID isn’t even from New Mexico!
