The level of bald-faced, open racism that we are now seeing is simply gobsmacking.
Far worse than anything I can remember in the US in my lifetime.

Rep @kamlager-dove.house.gov, describes an alarming system of relocating detainees, making it nearly impossible for their families to find them or get legal counsel.

That is exactly what Trump's budget reconciliation bill does.
