They forgot--Just because it sucks. Its unreal how they think they can just come in and take over small towns like this. Maybe they think paying twice what a building is worth should make up for it.

so you know Trmp just has to stick a finger in their eye, with this prison for nonwhite people.

The video is 18 minutes, but it's worth it.

(Not in my backyard). I have little sympathy for people who voted for this cretin and are now facing the consequences.

Too bad so much effort has to go into stopping what essentially may have at least partially just been a money-laundering attempt at a grift by one of his unscrupulous appointees.

The whole idea of detention, and then deportation to inhumane locations is anathema to the laws that are being promulgated as the reason for said consequences.

Very few of the incarcerated people have commited any criminal offense.
They had made their locations known to ICE as required.
They were attending immigration interviews.
They had obtained TINs to pay unrecoverable SSA and medicare deductions, plus local and federal taxes.
They were paying rent (or mortgages) in their houses.

The whole country is actually better off leaving them where they were. Employes, landlords, family, and the immigrant would all be better off. Giving them 30 days notice of a change in status, so they could arrange their affairs, would be far more humane, than abrupt abduction and disappearance.

That's something every municipality no matter how small can do.
