No, you missed the part where the authorities decided to not accept the papers (CDL drivers license) of a citizen, and detained him until someone showed up with further papers (birth certificate). This was a natural-born citizen that was detained even though he had legal ID, because the authorities "thought" it wasn't his ID.
This isn't speculation. This happened. This was ICE employees; abuse at a lower level of law enforcement is just going to be that much worse. I don't know anyone that carried their birth certificate on them, but if this is what's to come, we're all going to have to. And that's the problem.
