Don’t they fingerprint you?Quick question... Could A Nygga with no priors who's on the run for murder lie to ICE and say he's a Haitian immigrant to get shipped to Haiti instead of getting Sent to prison for life? I would rather get shipped off than get Put under the jail for the rest of my life

Don’t they fingerprint you?
Actually that’s the answer if you ever been fingerprinted you go downtown and they run your prints.
If you never been arrested, don’t have a REAL ID from a non sanctuary city never been in the military or worked for the Government then maybe you get a free flight to sunny Port au Prince.
I have an American accent? I have photos of my personal documents on my phone? I have a respectable hairline and can dress? I’m in the system? What kind of question is this?![]()

IDENTITY DOCUMENTS & BLACK COMMUNITIES
1 Identity documents (IDs) are vital keys necessary to open the doors to so many parts of everyday life. However, there are key system-level failures that create significant obstacles to IDs for many people, causing severe, yet avoidable harm. This infographic highlights some of the unique impacts on Black communities. See MAP’s new report to learn more about the obstacles to ID, the harms caused from a lack of ID, and recommendations for improving ID access for everyone.
SYSTEM FAILURES CREATE OBSTACLES TO ACCURATE ID
LACK OF ID CAUSES CONCRETE, YET AVOIDABLE HA
Burdensome documentation requirements often mean a person needs one form of ID (such as a birth certificate) to get another ID (such as a driver’s license). But legal segregation meant many Black people were routinely denied equal access to hospitals, even for childbirth, and as a result many older Black Americans still alive today were never issued birth certificates. The Brennan Center estimates that 6-7% of all U.S. adults, or 15-18 million people, have no access to the documents needed to prove their birth or citizenship.
IDs are needlessly expensive, with a new driver’s license costing an average of 4.1 hours of work at minimum wage—not including the costs of time waiting at or traveling to an ID office. Costs are even higher in the South, home to the largest share of the Black population. And, due to centuries of discrimination, Black communities face higher rates of poverty and are more likely to work low-wage jobs. This is especially true for Black LGBTQ people, Black people with disabilities, and others who face even higher rates of poverty.
Discrimination has been and remains a central experience for Black communities in the United States, including discriminatory policies and practices about IDs. As noted above, many Black Americans were denied access to hospitals and therefore birth certificates. Today, discriminatory treatment by law enforcement leads to Black Americans being disproportionately pulled over, searched, and fined, which in turn contributes to higher rates of suspended driver’s licenses among people of color, often due to the inability to pay these fines and fees.
Overall, 21% of Black adults lack a valid driver’s license, compared to 12% of all adults.

How ID Requirements Harm Marginalized Communities and Their Right to Vote
A report from last fall highlights how ID requirements, often which are unnecessary, create serious burdens in everyday life — especially for minority communities.www.democracydocket.com
Maintaining identification is disproportionately burdensome for minority and low income communities.
Discriminatory and prejudicial ID practices pose major challenges for certain groups and are often rooted in decades of history. During the Jim Crow era, many Black people were denied access to certain hospitals, and many were never given a birth certificate. As such, communities of color are especially likely to lack a driver’s license.
While only 8% of white Americans do not have a driver’s license, 21% of Black Americans and 23% of Hispanic Americans do not have access to this form of ID. Consequences of this are numerous, but one striking example is that 13.8% of Black households lack a checking or savings account compared to just 2.5% of white households. IDs are required to open these accounts.
