    You’re too late. ICE has already arrested people with Native American IDs, claiming they are invalid.

    ICE has arrested people with valid REAL-IDs claiming they aren't real. They'll do whatever they want to whoever they want.

    REAL-IDs

    Are Native American IDs not real?

    ETA: Reading this back, it looks really pas-ag. Not American, the question is sincere. I've never heard of Native American IDs

    REAL-ID is a new-ish standard required to obtain a driver's license or personal ID. It requires more documentation than was previously required. Native American IDs are real, but REAL-ID is not related.

    Not proper but it scans as "wait till", as "til", "till", and "until" are interchangeable in common English, "till" being a somewhat archaic but still often used version.

    Interesting

    The preposition till is ubiquitous in informal register of modern English; nonetheless, in formal register it is often replaced with until or to, except in some varieties, such as Indian English. This predisposition is likely influenced by the widespread misapprehension that till is a clipping of until, which it is not (until being an enhanced form of till). The spelling 'til, itself also deprecated by some writers, was born of that same misapprehension.
