Does this all seem chaotic? Chaos is part of their Project 2025. Chaos creates fear. What will you and I do when our family member is taken? When the masked men ziptie our loved one in an unmarked van, will we politely ask them to follow due process? Will we send a strongly worded letter? (7/7)

But in any given town, hotel employees can find themselves kidnapped and thrown in a CoreCivic™ prison camp. No right to a lawyer. Or even worse - extraordinary rendition to an even larger prison, in a country they’ve never visited. (6/7)

Even employees who have a visa or green card stay home. It just isn’t worth the risk; Multiple DHS agents have ignored or discarded immigration documents, presumably so they can make their arrest quota. Trump is not doing mass detention at schools, hospitals, and churches yet. (5/7)

I guess he’s trying to scare immigrants into skipping court? Missing court is not a misdemeanor, but may be close enough that Trump can pretend these are the “criminals” he promised to deport. Following high-profile raids, some Brownsville restaurants stay closed. Employees stopped showing up. (4/7)

(California is where 800,000 farmworkers grow 1/3 of our vegetables and 3/4 of our fruits, at least for now). In San Antonio and other cities, masked agents are staking out immigration courthouses so they can deport the immigrants and refugees *who actually show up at court.* (3/7)

ICE is randomly raiding food trucks in New York and Home Depot in Los Angeles. HSI (Homeland Security Investigations) is arresting flea market vendors in Texas. Border Patrol is demanding documents from the people picking blueberries for us in California. (2/7)

Do first graders need to carry passports to school? Will that stop DHS from kidnapping them?
