Summary
Since Donald Trump’s return to office, ICE and DEA agents have intensified immigration enforcement, conducting door-to-door sweeps in Colorado.
Initially targeting suspected criminals, recent operations now question all residents, regardless of warrants. A Denver apartment complex saw widespread searches, sparking protests and fear among undocumented families.
Activists and attorneys are mobilizing to inform residents of their rights. Schools report growing student anxiety.
Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, confirmed a broad crackdown, declaring, “If you’re in the country illegally, you’re on the table.”
That’s the problem- I’m pretty sure you’re right. Either that or whoever got the instructions to get rid of undocumented immigrants has no cleverness at all and pushed the only button they can think of (send in jack booted thugs).
Trump may or may not be ignorant but his words fan the flames of racism and xenophobia. And while I think it’s possible he’s just ignorant, for someone in his position ignorance is no excuse. As President, as a commander, like any other commander he’s responsible for the actions of his subordinates when they are following his orders. He doesn’t get the luxury of not knowing, not understanding, not being aware of what his orders end up doing.
