Summary

Since Donald Trump’s return to office, ICE and DEA agents have intensified immigration enforcement, conducting door-to-door sweeps in Colorado.

Initially targeting suspected criminals, recent operations now question all residents, regardless of warrants. A Denver apartment complex saw widespread searches, sparking protests and fear among undocumented families.

Activists and attorneys are mobilizing to inform residents of their rights. Schools report growing student anxiety.

Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, confirmed a broad crackdown, declaring, “If you’re in the country illegally, you’re on the table.”

    A quarter of the country wants them in power.

    Another (almost) half didn’t give enough fucks to even notice.

      How do you come to one quarter? They got almost half of registered voters, even if you count elegible but unregistered it would be one third. Plenty of kids, felons, etc who can’t vote and might or might not support the shitshow.

        They got half of the people who cast a ballot.

        But almost half of the eligible voters didn’t vote at all

          Was it that bad? The only figure I know is 160M registered voters, and 150M people voted.
