I just… Letting fundamentally uncritical, uncareful, unserious, willfully ignorant people introduce "Gen AI" into the federal regulatory workflow for *Anything* is a terrible fucking idea with high potential for returning extremely negative chaos, but for Transportation in particular??? Holy shit.

when they say "quotas" here, they mean a predetermined number of "arrests"
we've seen them go after anyone: undocumented, u.s. citizens, latino, black, white, american indian, men, women, children, etc
their goal is to snatch "enough" people off the streets each day
evil!
morale should be lower
