It’s smart but also sad that they have to do this. It’s like a modernized version of what the Jews would do if they were hiding from Nazis.

It is. People are hiding. People are helping other people hide.

Even if we pretended this admin only has say 10 million immigrants in mind - they will be lucky to hit 1/1.5 per year. ~50 million immigrants total in the US too. They keep saying it's just the terrible awful criminals but we can all see that isn't the case.

This isn't about immigration, and more people need to wake up to that.

Also please be careful of what details you're sharing on social media, text messaging and email. Use end to end like signal if you need to share details. It's not just about hiding from plain sight, this is 2026.

(or we) are ever in danger, we use the key fobs to set off the car alarms, and, since it's pretty quiet out in the country, everyone within quite a radius can hear, and we all go check it out.

because it's a blue state. TX has ten times the illegal immigrant count, but of course Pedo Don isn't sending ICE there.

living in our neighborhood who worry at night......

I tell them to put their car key FOB by their nightstand, and if they hear anything at night, just to press the car alarm button......
And to be sure to alert their neighbors, that if their car alarm goes off, especially in the middle of the night, and the alarm doesn't get shut off, to call the cops.......(and to tell the cops, that it is not just a normal car alarm going off, but it is a signal from their female neighbor that she is feeling threatened by an intruder&quot
