bsmall2> Many people are simply disappearing, their friends, family, employers, coworkers simply unable to find out where they've been taken. Thousands have been directly impacted; tens of millions are indirectly impacted as they find themselves living in fear of these fates, and it is ravaging both mental health and the ability to continue to participate in everyday life and earn a living. Many are, with good reason, afraid to leave their homes.

Immigrants: A Love Letter
It has never been easy to be an immigrant to the United States – for most economic, linguistic, and cultural barriers make life here a struggle, even if they were escaping a worse life elsewhere. The utterly evil bill that just squeaked through in Congress, among other harms, aims to make

> This is just the beginning of the terror. It’s going to get much, much worse if this budget goes through, as the Trump administration adds 10,000 new ICE agents, which it aims to recruit quickly with $30,000 signing bonuses. Of course, we can expect that, given the administration’s desire to hire people quickly in order to reach daily arrest and deportation quotas, they’re not going to be putting much effort into screening out psychopaths, sadists, and outright neo-Nazis.

bsmall2> This was the predictable result of President Trump’s executive order rescinding ICE guidance, which required ICE to focus on public safety threats. As a consequence, the overall capacity of ICE to make arrests has grown thanks to shifting many resources from the military and other law enforcement agencies into ICE. It is also borrowing from end-of-the-year appropriations to pay for operations today, leaving it $1 billion in the hole.
