I just read that ICE is all over Lawrence, KS

Home of KU and the KU Jayhawks. Lawrence is known as a very liberal city, which is probably why they are there. Damn!

haven't been there in a long time, but when I lived there I wouldn't say that there was a large population of immigrants, unless you include the university student visa people.

I hope they aren't arresting, deporting student visa holders now... they have been busy trying to revoke visa holders that protested the Israeli destruction and attempted genocide of Gaza.

Assholes.
