So I have the cover story in next month's TNR.
I interviewed the heads of police groups; immigration defense attorneys, ex-judges and ex-prosecutors; former DOJ and DHS officials, and the former head of Border Patrol.
They're all horrified at what we've seen, and they all fear what's coming.

Isn't this taking away a legitimate housing benefit from folks who needed it and splitting up and distributing that pot of money to everyone regardless of need? Seems like the original recipients are getting shafted in this sham to make Trump look benevolent.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

A friendly reminder: US billionaires have gained $968 billion in wealth so far this year—that’s 30X the annual cost of ACA subsidies Congress is fighting over in the shutdown talks.
That $968B is enough to send every single US household a $7,300 check.
