This sort of thing is not a tragic unintended consequence of Trump's immigration policies; it's fully intended. The possibility of the death of one's children is intended to be an incentive self-deport.
Ofelia Torres, the teenage Chicago Public Schools student whose fight against cancer while her father was detained by ICE came to represent the federal government's overreach during Operation Midway Blitz, has died. Brave young woman. I will never forget her. RIP.

Yes, but *how* can billionaires be taxed? This would require a working class movement strong enough to challenge the political power their wealth gives them. And ut would take a revolution to do that, a revolution which would allow #capitalism to be abolished in its entirety.

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

First measles, then mumps ... how long till polio?
Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading.
Now we’ve got mumps rolling up.
Expect more.
This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.
