In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

I missed this yesterday. I'd like to believe Tramp (and Marjorie Taylor Green) were visited by three ghosts recently, but I won't get my hope up too far.
To ease labor shortages on farms and ranches, the Trump administration made changes to the federal H-2A visa program, which allows employers to hire foreign workers for temporary agricultural jobs when there aren’t enough U.S.-born workers available.
Trump allows more foreign ag workers, eases off ICE raids on farms • Idaho Capital Sun
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in recent months appears to be refraining from conducting agricultural workplace raids.

Boy, does this bring back memories. Though I think we had a radio instead of a liquor cabinet on one side. Mostly I remember how long it took for the television tubes to warm up. Still less frustrating than my newish flatscreen TV.
