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.”

    I think my great-great grandfather immigrated from Ireland. Can I get on board with that?

      Too bad it’s your great grandfather. If it was your grandfather, you’d be eligible for Irish Citizenship.

      hahaha I can see the appeal of a free ticket to Dublin and $250 to spend when you get there…

      But no you wouldn’t qualify as you’re a citizen (born in the USA).

        Oh I know I don’t qualify. Funny enough was asking dad to find out about his grandfather because that might have gotten him a path to citizenship. Nope, Mississippi.
