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.”
Apologies, I mentally did percentage of population, not percentage of adults/voters. The Fascists got 29% of voting-aged adults. I will say there is still a massive percentage of the population just watching this happen–voting against it is not enough. in Nazi Germany, saving children from torture was illegal. People are still talking about this like there’s some sort of holiness to the legal system: there isn’t. It’s not a justice system, it’s a highly corruptible legal system. Enough people can rise up and easily stop this, they’re just too scared to do it, because man, one thing I’ve learned since 2016 is just how terrified the average American is most of the time. Then actual things to be afraid of arrive, and they freeze up.
I think the 29% is if you include all adults, but many are not elegible (immigrants, felons, etc) and might have voted R if they could.
Call me pessimistic, but I think there’s enough people to rise up.
