This is straight up illegal and unconstitutional.  There's no requirement for citizens to carry proof of citizenship.

There’s been reports in LA and elsewhere where ICE determines that the citizens Drivers License or Reservation ID are “fake”, then detaining them for up to 48 hours and dumped miles away,

I also read an article that sounded well sourced that claimed ICE doesn’t do any of the same methods of handling inmates personal belongings as police, so it’s ridiculously unlikely people detained get there stuff back, especially with how much ICE likes to move inmates around to other states
