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.

“The system sucks. This job sucks. I wish you could hold me in contempt so that I could get 24 hours of sleep,” Le said, according to reporting by Lou Raguse of NBC affiliate KARE. A person in the courtroom confirmed Le's remarks to NBC News.

Judge: 'Overwhelming majority' of cases brought to him by ICE were for people lawfully in Minnesota

U.S. District Court Judge Jerry W. Blackwell said the "overwhelming majority" of people brought to his court by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs & Border Protection (CBP) since the Trump administration's crackdown started have been "lawfully present" in the country.

It backs up the growing number of witness accounts and victim testimonies that the federal operation has expanded way beyond the supposed scope of targeting undocumented immigrants with violent criminal histories, with refugees, legal permanent residents, and even U.S. citizens being swept up in the crackdown.

"The overwhelming majority of the hundreds seen by this court have been found to be lawfully present," Blackwell said during the Feb. 3 hearing in St. Paul. "They live in their communities. Some are separated from their families."

This trend toward government terrorism of civilians was foreseen by the General Rants over 20 years ago. For several years, people on the Fool were urged to get their papers in order, because this day was coming.

Any bets that investigation of the small business "fraud" in LA, will amount to phalanxes of ICE storm troopers invading and vandalizing only the businesses owned by people of color?
