      It’s a solid idea in theory but unless I’m mistaken this means that someone somewhere is in possession of a list of people who have reason to suspect that ICE would want to arrest them. Given the lack of legal processes involved in all this it seems likely that this list will end up being a valuable resource for ICE when they break down that person’s door and steal it.

          One of the most notable instances of culture shock I’ve had as a Californian is going into a Walmart in Idaho and seeing the guns in the outdoors section. It’s not like I hadn’t seen rather open gun stores outside of California, hell I once went to a gas station that was gun store/gas station mart/Pizza Hut it was just surreal seeing guns in Walmart. Mostly because I wouldn’t trust your average Walmart shopper with a dull knife let alone a firearm.
