I would wear one.

This is the kind of bracelet* that Trump's ICE is forcing people to wear.
If I had the means to do so, I'd make some and distribute them so that we could all show HUMAN solidarity with those who are being forced to wear them.
*It’s been brought to my attention that the picture is NOT one of the immigration bracelets; rather, it IS from a organization that does very good humanitarian work. The picture came up when I googled “immigration ICE bracelet”, and I didn’t take the time to dig deeper. My bad. And my very sincere apologies to that organization. That said, I’m leaving the picture to provide context for latecomers to the thread.
Also — Whether or not the Denmark story is true is irrelevant. The fact that bracelets were instituted during W’s tenure is also irrelevant. What does matter is this: We currently have a head of state who takes every opportunity to revile anyone who does not look like him. We have a president who incites racist speech and action. We have a commander-in-chief who gleefully deports veterans of our armed services, and revels in the wrenching separation of children from their parents. He owns the horror that we presently deal with.
That said, we are presented with the opportunity to show that we do not share the joy he takes in the cruel treatment of other humans. We can wear a yellow bracelet of any design to show our solidarity in the simple concept of humane brotherhood. We can rise above the stench he is putting on our global reputation. We can decide to prove that we really do believe those words inscribed on the Statue of Liberty. Wearing a yellow bracelet cannot accomplish all that, but it could be an expression of a beginning.

= new reply since forum marked as read
from my art supplies and misc stuff I collect. However I just read that these have been used since 2005 and the moron didn't order them and it is false info. Oberliner mentioned this.
Since I live in San Diego and there are a lot of immigrants here I may wear it to support them. I have to decide what to write on it ("immigrant" or "fuck ICE"
. If I get nabbed I can whip out my wallet size passport card for proof of citizenship. I AM an immigrant. My mom did our genealogy and my great, great, great grandmother came here in a boat called The Fortune in 1621 which came after the Mayflower.
Her side is 100% Italian and we have all of those records but my dad's side was full of surprises. We were told that we are 10% Native American while growing up but my mom did that DNA stuff that you see on TV and found that we are 0%. She went to the Mormon libraries for records over the years and was able to get a ton of info through a lot of work and determination. Then she did the DNA thing and it gave her data to keep her busy for 10 more years.
As a former teacher I taught my classes more than what we were required to teach like history and geography and ecology. I even taught civics and how to vote to my first graders. They LOVED voting. I taught them about nutrition too. They would go home and tell their parents to vote and that they weren't eating healthy food. I heard all about that at report card conference time (the good and bad feedback). Oh well, I tried.

New Qhubeka ICE ID bracelets now available
https://qhubeka.org/news/new-qhubeka-ice-id-bracelets-now-available/
In Case of Emergency Identification (ICE ID) has these stylish, new Qhubeka identification bracelets in stock.
According to Gila Overton of ICE ID, “Essentially the bracelet is for everyone. anything can happen when out and about, from a car accident to a bee sting while hiking. If a person wearing an ICE ID bracelet is involved in an accident, the first person on the scene can read on the bracelet who they are and who to call in case of emergency. The tag also has medical aid details. There is no annual membership fee and no call centre, as all the essential information is on the tag, so there’s no delay in getting the person the best care in the shortest possible time.”
The bracelets are ideal for cyclists, runners and other sportspeople, as well as anyone with a medical condition or allergies – information that is critical if the person is injured and needs medical treatment. The ICE ID bracelets are available in three different sizes. Small is recommended for children, medium for women and large for men. The strap is made of high-grade silicone and the tag is stainless steel. The tag will be laser engraved with up to six lines of personal and medical information.
“We have been selling In Case of Emergency bracelets for over seven years in South Africa and more recently in the UK,” says Gila. “It started as a family business. My sister was a runner and I was a cyclist, and we saw the need for a product like this, so together we started the business in Cape Town in 2007.”
To purchase a Qhubeka ICE ID bracelet, visit the website. The cost is R179, excluding postage, and this price includes the engraving of your personal details. R50 of the bracelet price will be donated to Qhubeka.
Because I have tried that with different browsers and with and without quotes.
The most relevant result is an actual ICE ankle monitor:

But I can drill way far down in the results, and don't come anywhere near the image that your Google produced.
