Lot of folks relieved to have an excuse to trust police again and meanwhile I have to wonder if I'm being too conspiratorial by thinking "is this guy telling people to call 911 specifically so fewer people call Monarca?"

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Evil.
There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

ICE agents abducted a father in front of the Richfield Best Buy building and just left his kids in the minivan. Richfield cops took them inside a nearby restaurant to wait for the kid’s family to pick them up. Not entirely sure if RPD was working with ICE or not but a shit situation either way.
