6. My wife is scared to leave the house and she's Puerto Rican

Saturday

She texts me every morning when she gets to work, and every evening when she leaves work, and we're in the exurbs 45 min south of Minneapolis. But there have still been multiple ICE arrests in our semi-rural town of 20,000.

She won't go anywhere else without me next to her, because I'm a muscular middle-aged white man with a big beard, so I look MAGA. She's terrified she'll be picked up and they won't believe she's an American.
