According to a Saturday report in the New York Times, concern over ICE’s brutality has grown to such an extent that many Minnesota residents, including both documented immigrants and US citizens, have started wearing passports around their necks to avoid being potentially targeted.
CNN on Friday reported that ICE has been rounding up refugees living in Minnesota who were allowed to enter the US after undergoing “a rigorous, years-long vetting process,” and sending them to a facility in Texas where they are being prepared for deportation.
if a “terrifying line is being crossed” every day, how does that affect you? Is each line a new horror? or do they all blur together?

But then if you ever got actually found out, how it would change your image.
It’s too bad this place doesn’t have blue checkmarks. You could make a real legacy.
If nothing is done when the line is first crossed, and that crossing then continues to happen on a daily basis, then it has just become the new normal.
