OK, let's say you decide to concede and have your "Papers" on your person [View all]

in case ICE stops you and demands to see them. Birth certificate, passport, etc.

How do you know that ICE won't return the document? Maybe burn it in front of you, shred it, etc.

And now you have no proof of citizenship.

And now you can be detained, arrested, and sent God-knows-where.
