Disappointing to see http://democracyspring.org trying to get people to pledge arrest at the #DNC. The consequences are not the same for all.

I'm like real troubled that you're trying to correct me and hinging it on Philly being a sanctuary city.
@mcbyrne -
Surely you know *federal agents* will also be at the DNC, right?
@mcbyrne -
But even if it were solely Philly cops and non-cooperation with ICE, do you understand that there's a record?
@mcbyrne -
What does citation in lieu of arrest mean for a DACA holder? What about for someone who wants to apply for relief at a later date?
@mcbyrne -
What about a citation in lieu of arrest at the DNC for a legal permanent resident trying to renew after ten years? Any idea?
@mcbyrne -
How about a legal permanent resident applying for citizenship? Do you understand they have to explain the citation to the feds?
@mcbyrne -
This kind of citation—esp during a political convention that is part of the nation's democratic process—can mean no citizenship?
@mcbyrne -
Whiteplaining this to an immigrant like "it's ok it's just a citation" isn't ok,
@mcbyrne. There are *serious* consequences. -
And I really hope you've never actually said this to an immigrant in the past who was later arrested.
