I received a letter in my DC mailbox today from DHS, addressed to a former resident of my unit. It mentioned coming to court (in Miami) for an asylum claim. After seeing your report, wondering if ICE will come barging in searching for previous tenant. Crazy to have to think about the possibility.

Happy to join you there, Dave. Also, don't be surprised if the National Museum of the American Indian becomes another target.

The U.S. travel industry is going to be broadly affected by insane policies regarding immigration and tariffs. But more than that, while the citizens of 43 countries may be blacklisted from entering, citizens of even more countries will opt to blacklist the United States.
