The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Oh, sure. I'm not in any way praising Homan. He's 100% an immigration hardliner, and is hardly one to try to calm feelings on the issue. But, he's been one of the folks in the Administration that recognized that prioritizing targets was preferable to just going after everyone indiscriminately vs. the Miller/Noem group.

Trump's campaigns distill down to "brown people bad. brown people criminals. I'll get brown people out". I don't see a fundamental change in tactics. We have not seen the sort of upheaval in Memphis, New Orleans, or most of the other cities where ICE has been running operations.

On the metro Detroit news last night:

ICE 'targeted' Michigan parents at Ypsilanti bus stop during student drop-off, sheriff says

"Earlier today, following reports of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) presence near our campus, we have received confirmation that several parents in our community were taken into custody while off school grounds," the letter reads. "There are no words to fully capture the pain, fear, and disruption this causes for our scholars and their loved ones."

Seems that, for whatever reason, the regime picked Minneapolis to step up the brutality, to make a big show for the entertainment and pleasure of the MAGA base.
