And thank you for reading. I have accompanied an ICE checkin once before, but that was in the days when it was merely scary, not bone-chilling.

"But we aren’t all white in Iowa: like everywhere in the U.S., we are place built by immigrants"

No we are not place build by immigrants. We are a place built by settlers. We are a place built by people with nothing, no safety nets, no government handouts.

ICE is law enforcement. These people are breaking US laws. The Supreme Court has confirmed that the Administration is in its legal right to arrest and deport people that are not legal residents and are breaking the law being here.

That is what the population voted for.

The majority supports deportation.

Get over it.

We are all immigrants in this country unless you’re indigenous Native American. Even you.

The country was founded and built by settlers, not immigrants. There was no immigrant service, laws, identity, system, etc. It was not until 1870 that the system was put in place after the Supreme Court ruled that it was a federal responsibility.

Do you get a charge out of specious nonsense in comments? This country was founded on slavery & genocide, your ahistorical bullshit notwithstanding.

Did your woke professor tell you that? It is one of this hysterical common luxury beliefs from people that poll as hating their country, but not actually accurate.
