Liam tells his father about nightmares featuring police officers. The boy also “remembers the moment the ICE agents detained us.”

“Requiring every citizen to provide a passport or birth certificate in person to register or update their voter information would impact all of us, but would especially impact working-class Americans, older voters, women who’ve changed their last name, and those who’ve lost essential documents due to natural disasters.”
