With the world heating up [and more pedestrians being killed], why are more SUVs being sold?
“It’s the industry that has driven the demand through huge marketing & advertising campaigns in recent years. SUVs offered the industry a simple way of charging more for a vehicle that does the same thing.”

If they are truly "only after dangerous criminals" ICE should not be able to lay a hand on ANYONE unless they have a warrant for that person. Random abductions of US citizens should be punishable. ICE should be held accountable for bodily injury, damage to property and loss of life.

ICE expects to hold between 1,500 and 10,000 detainees across 23 towns in warehouses converted into detention centers. This month, officials purchased two facilities in Maryland and Arizona.

This to me illustrates the reality that city hall is worried office vacancies will rise and more downtown retail will fail. The city gets ~60% of its revenue from B&O and retail sales taxes.
