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.

Homan: We're going to create a database of ICE protesters, make them famous and inform their employers

You can protest. They have that right but when you cross that line, and we've proven it, if you interfere, impede an I.C.E. Officer you'll be prosecuted. One thing I'm pushing for right now, we're going to create a database. Those people that are interfering, we're going to make them famous and put their face on TV. We're going to let their employers and their neighborhoods and their schools know who these people are.

DOJ investigating Gov. Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey over alleged conspiracy to impede immigration agents

The Justice Department is investigating Minnesota officials, including Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, over an alleged conspiracy to impede federal immigration agents, an extraordinary escalation in the Trump administration's clash with Democratic leaders there, multiple sources familiar with the matter told CBS News.

One of the sources, a U.S. official, said the investigation stems from statements that Walz and Frey have made about the thousands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and Border Patrol agents deployed to the Minneapolis region in recent weeks.

I have said, many times, I have a fundamental problem with so-called "sanctuary cities/counties/states" that purport to ignore Federal immigration law. But this could go off the rails so easily, and people could lose their jobs over very innocuous comments, like protesting their being roughed up and detained, when they are telling the agents they are US citizens.

I learned, long ago, either say what the boss wants to hear, or keep your mouth shut and fade into the background. Be careful what charities you donate too. Be careful what you say. Be careful who you hang out with. And have your papers in order. This isn't the US of "Leave It To Beaver".

Steve...has his papers in order.
