#ICE is becoming a goon squad, violating all previous norms. Stalking immigrant parents outside schools, hospitals, churches.

Neighbors are turning in neighbors.

We don't have to be Germany 1933 for this to be a horrible, inhumane slippery slope we do not want to slither down.

"as ICE officers get wider latitude to determine whom they detain, the biggest jump in arrests has been of immigrants with no criminal convictions. The agency made 37,734 'noncriminal' arrests in the govt’s 2017 fiscal year"—more than twice # previous year https://t.co/c2CxFvY5DB

1. I'm so lucky.

that I don't need a income that badly, to actively hurt people. I don't know what BS they use to validate what they do what they do, bills, paying rent, good health insurance but one day their kids will look at them. They might even ask why?

5. The brutal truth is that they are the easy ones to pick up and deport...

the criminals tend to have organizations around them to protect them. Law-abiding immigrants are swimming in a sea of increasing hostility and hatred.

6. Think of the kind of people who want that job.

White supremacists have been filling every position they can for years. These are people who like hurting other people. They get to pretend they are patriots when they are just bigots and sadists with guns and badges.

When we get the house and senate back, we need to fix this.

8. most of the republicans I've known

...would view that inhuman job as sport.
