UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene.
A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

Timelapse video of the front parking lot outside the World’s Largest Costco in Salt Lake City, Utah.
I’ve watched this video at least a dozen times and with each viewing I find a different absurdity. Just absolute chaos.
