Its not a "predicament" its not funny, its not weird - its racism, its arrogant crazy white people. Puerto Rico is America, just like Polynesian Americans, just like the people of Washington DC, majority black since slaves built Congress and the White House, who also have no Reps or Senators, despite having more people than Wyoming. And Vermont.

Its racism. Big, organised, crazy, political, enforced racism.

More about Donna Hughes-Brown, a legal US permanent resident detained by #ICE 143 days over a long-resolved matter: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp390jex3ppo

I couldn't directly corroborate the $27,000 #taxpayer expense, but @TheAtlantic reports #DHS says the daily cost is $165. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2025/10/ice-immigration-detention-centers/684465/

That would be $23,925 before adding legal fees, pay for #govt attorneys & agents, detainee transport, etc.

There's your #waste: Spend ~$25,000 on a $100 matter that's been settled for a decade.

What Fabulous Timing for Gallup to Stop Tracking Presidential Approval!

Why stop with BLS data and jobs reports?

Make sure to share this far and wide. I'm not sure enough people know how hard these "think tanks", i.e. propaganda tools of neoliberal ideology, are working to undermine Canada.
