ICE raids appear to be 100% responsible for the current housing crunch in south Texas. Indeed, they have brought residential construction to an end.

So much for the 'free press.' The wholesale surrender of outlets like CBS to the Trump agenda proves that legacy media is no longer the watchdog of our democracy—it’s the lapdog. It's a direct betrayal of the First Amendment and every American who still values the truth.
