ICE Info
Okay, in all seriousness now.
I recommend that everyone visit www.ice.gov for like two seconds to get a decent idea of what they are really responsible for. I am sure, under all the listed areas of duties, they can do whatever they want regardless of the reason.

If you don't want to carry your GC then don't. Simple as that. No need to debate what all ICE can or cannot do.
This is pure bullshit. Yes one is required to carry GC all the time. But nobody is going to lose their GC or put in jail or deported if found not carrying GC. Stop acting like a USCIS nanny. You do that all the time on these forums.
People! There is no need to get upset here. This is valuable information, the sentiment is simply that one should really carry their GC with them. It really is the law and who the heck wants to deal with ICE issues. And for some reason, some may not want to do so, then good luck and hope you don't have to deal with ICE.

Superfluous.
We both agree that one is required to carry their GC.
Can you kindly inform me when I have claimed that someone is going to lose their GC or will end up in jail or deported for not carrying their GC?

You are entitled to your opinion and I respect yours.

If it was just easy to carry your GC just like you carry your driver's license then there would be no issue. But you can't compare the two since its easy to replace your DL if its lost and get it in a short time but with your GC, once you lose it you pay so much to replace it and takes a few months to get a new one.
As some of you may know, I recently received my GC and all the documentation accompanying it clearly says that I must carry it with me at all times. Now, unless there is a similar rule where they ask the USCs to carry proof of their birth or citizenship, I find this law to be a bit strange. Nevertheless, logic was never applicable to the ways of immigration and I am just happy that I am a PR.

The funny part is that the monetary penalty for not having the green card on you ($100) is less than 1/3 of the cost or replacing it if it's lost or stolen. (Caveat: the penalty also includes the possibility of a short jail term, which could be costly in other ways.)

I get routinely stopped on I-87 much farther south from Canadian border than 20-30 miles.
By the way, it was easier when I had Green Card, where I just needed to flash to officer to be allowed to proceed.
Now that I'm a citizen and don't have a Green Card, they take my driver license and run it through their computer. Takes time, sometimes hours.
