ICE is finally here. If you’re not a white European, please carry your DNI and passport with you at all times.

I know people in this forum love Milei, so without further ado,

Whatever the government says is always right. Remember to obey at all times. Hail to Milei, long live Milei.
If you’re Chinese, Peruvian, Bolivian, or a brown Brazilian, Milei has sent you a clear message here.
Some sources say this is the first time in a hundred years.
Enjoy.

Any foriegner who has a DNI doesn't need to "carry" their passport with them at any time, unless they are leaving the country, and perhaps not even then if they are traveling to another Mercosur nation.

I would much rather face the prospect of replacing a lost or stolen DNI (with a quick trip to the nearby Registro) than a lost or stolen passport, which would require a trip to the US Embassy, at a much higher cost, even if the latter is now "easier" than ever.

...I believe, at least for permanent residents. Those with temporary residency might only have one option, but I am not certain exactly where they would have to go to replace a lost or stolen DNI.

Perhaps they would also have to go to migraciones first to get a certificado or constancia of their status, and perhaps that's all they would have to do before recieving a new DNI card by mail, but that still would undoubtedly be easier and cost less than replacing a lost or stolen passport from ANY country.
