Every single one of these people should be a pariah within the Democratic Party. Not one of them should ever know a moment of peace again.

ICE's push for anonymous neighbor reports, alongside mass deportation efforts, raises serious concerns about civil liberties and evokes parallels to McCarthy-era tactics.

Anyone concerned about indiscriminate illegal mass deportations should also be concerned about ICE soliciting anonymous informants to report their neighbors to ICE. What’s happening right now in communities across our country reverberates echos of McCarthyism and worse. www.ice.gov/webform/ice-...

ICE Risks Overplaying Its Hand. We’ve Seen It Happen Before. Militarized federal encroachments on public life provoke strong, even violent responses — even among those who agree with their aims.

"As ICE transforms into a massive, un-uniformed, masked domestic army ... there’s reason to believe it could backfire," writes @joshuamzeitz in his analysis.

It’s a shame that the best use for this property isn’t a one story grocery store and massive parking lot, and that Safeway isn’t a public benefit corporation that makes large-scale infrastructure investments into safe public spaces and housing. And sold its asset to a developer instead.

Post from Latino pollster Mike Madrid:

“Doing some research for an upcoming article on the last “mass deportation” of Mexicans during the 1930’s.

Over half of those deported were US citizens.”

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.

Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”
