Not necessarily. ICE has these things called Section 287(g) Memoranda of Agreement with state and local law enforcement agencies, that delegate certain bits of federal enforcement authority to them. So if JG's local cops have one of those, it might be legit.

They are potentially forcing a showdown between Federal and State Government and seeing how far they can get away with it.

This new law attempts to take the Feds out of the picture by putting Immigration enforcement into the hands of local cops because AZ feels the Feds aren't doing anything about it.

We also have a check point near us (So Cal) but have never been stopped and never seen anyone else stopped either!

I carry both of my work permit and my permanent resident card.

I have never heard of an EAD being handed in (or even asked for). It is superseded by a green card but should be retained.

Re: Do you carry your green card with you ?
Yes, I carry mine with me and have had to use it each time I've been in and out of the country .. which is about 6 times since getting it last April.
Funnily enough I've just taken a photocopy of everything in my purse .. medical cards, Green card, driving licence, credit/debit cards. Read somewhere it was a good idea to do that and only just remembered (read - be arsed!) to do it!
