Some American citizens have begun carrying their passports in Minneapolis, fearful that they'll be mistaken for undocumented immigrants and detained amid a surge of federal agents to the city.
CBS News spoke with several people of color, some from immigrant backgrounds, who said they weren't leaving their homes without passports in the event they had to prove their citizenship.
Dana, who did not want to use her last name, said she's making her children carry their passports around because people don't immediately know her background when they look at her.
"I've been hiding in the house for the last two weeks, working from home," Dana, who is in the process of getting her own passport, told us. She said her oldest child was home from college and she wouldn't let her go into the city.
"Wrong place, wrong time, something could happen, and I worry about myself, and I worry about my children," she said.
