Very cool! Snowbow? You can see the pale colors in it though. (A fogbow usually comes out of the fog.) Let’s solve the mystery!

i’ve never seen one before and it tripped me out because it was a mostly cloudless sky with no rain, yet this shimmery white arch appeared out of no where and stretched across town

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.
