Better make sure you always have your passport and birth certificate on you.
Won’t save you from an ICE that’s happy to tear them up and deport you anyway. This isn’t a legalist regime. Residential “legality” is just a talking point to justify totalitarianism.
If you believe a piece of paper is going to be a shield against a bunch of thugs with guns, you’re going to be in for a hard and sharp awakening when people you know and love end up on the next round of deportation lists.
Won’t work. That kind of evidence would be presented at a trial. For your average ICE agent, your documentation, and lack of criminal record makes it obvious that you have ties to a powerful street gang who is hiding your crimes.

I’m a citizen, but live abroad with my wife. I will be visiting my family this fall and I’m so happy my birth certificate is here. I’m totally bringing it with me just to be safe.
Is your wife from a background that could be remotely linked to something “bad” by crazy radicals?
that basically boils down to being from any part of the world that constitutes as Brown, Socialist, Controlled by China, or Controlled by Europe, in the Radical’s view.

Better still, avoid travelling in the US and hope the Americans can reclaim their country from Trump and his merry band of fascists.
You should probably also make sure to have a copy at home in case they take it from you
I haven been to the US since the end of 2019.
