ICE officers can ask people on the street about their immigration or citizenship status and may request documents, but legal rights about whether you must answer or show proof depend on circumstances: ICE guidance directs officers to assess potential U.S. citizenship and investigate further when needed [1], while civil-rights organizations and legal guides say people may refuse to answer and U.S. citizens are not required to carry proof of citizenship [2] [3]. Courts and advocates disagree over how much race or appearance may lawfully factor into stops, leaving “nebulous” boundaries for street encounters [4].

I also was watching the news a few days back and the law professor being interviewed said people don't have to prove citizenship with ICE.

ICE is supposed to have an arrest warrant!!! They are the ones that need to show proof!

My nephew's wife is a "Lawful Permanent Resident" (green card holder) and has one.

The Enhanced Driver's License (EDL) can prove citizenship and may be used for land or sea border crossings.
