If a cop rolled up on you, could you prove right then and there you are a citizen? Unless you habitually carry your passport or birth certificate or immigration papers, almost certainly not.
Are you going to have any way to prove it while you are in a holding facility with no access to a lawyer or at best a public defender who has heard the same story 80 times today?
The U.S. passport card is a wallet-sized, plastic passport that has no visa pages. The card is proof of U.S. citizenship and identity, and has the same length of validity as the passport book.

This certainly wouldn’t be the first time an American Citizen got deported.

Yes, a lot of us can because our licenses provide that verification.
Are licenses not like that in other states?
You don’t have to be a citizen to get a license in a lot of places. I actually don’t know of any that do but clearly I’m not fully informed.
I don’t think illegals can get a license here.
Non-citizens have to provide documentation to convert their out-of-country license.
Looks like anyone who has a “non-compliant” license is able to maintain it but new ones are no longer issued.
Illegals are a significant form of labor in this red state but the state hates them.
I doubt that will work under Trump plan. Better not be brown and if you are carry that passport thing or something.
Why would Trump roll back anti-illegal license requirements? That’s kinda his thing.
This would be a good time to remind everyone that you can actually get a passport card that will fit in your wallet:
