I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Some letters also alleged that the University had failed to protect students against antisemitism."

The Trump administration made Jim Ryan's resignation one of the conditions of the DOJ's case against UVA's alleged DEI. The executive branch just taking over every institution in US society--quite authoritarian.

Kudos to Jim Ryan for a terrific tenure as the President of UVA. Again, this is not normal. We should all be alarmed.

Culver City is 15 minutes from me. A friend of mine knows the family. This happened yesterday. Last I heard, they don't yet know his whereabouts.
