she knew that international travellers were being locked up in immigration detention centres in the US. “I was aware,” she nods. “But I never thought it would have any impact on my holiday.”

    Isn’t it the other way round: ICE pruposely bullys blue states (Among other reasons, because the red states need illegal immigrants as laborers) ?

      That’s their goal. You can either believe the shit you just said or know that blue states are where the push back is.

      Blue states will be there for all.

      Liberty

      Democracy

      Accountability

      Justice

      Edit

      Also HELLO NOBODY IN A RED STATE IS QUESTIONING ANYONE BEING TAKEN OR SAYING THIS IS CONSTITUTIONALLY WRONG! YOU JUST DISAPPEAR.

        I’m in favor of your position but this

        You can either believe the shit you just said

        is just rude and that way, you won’t generate support for your position among people who don’t already agree with you. I think that’s counterproductive, because cooperation is the most effective weapon you have against a repressive state.

        I asked a simple question to understand the situation and you start insulting me.

      Not really. The blue states just get more press because they have more protesters clashing with ICE. They’re operating in red states too, just more quietly. It’s not safe anywhere in the US at the moment.
