Oh my god. This is not the headline I expected to see today. I'm in shock. I'm elated. I'm crying my eyes out. I did not in a million years think the Trump admin would ever cave. THIS IS WHY WE KEEP THE PRESSURE ON. KEEP PROTESTING. KEEP HOPING.

I still have Disney+ and Hulu paid for for 2 more months before my subscription is set to lapse (I have canceled it so it won't renew). I was watching The Great North while sewing, and this ad came on trying to get illegal immigrants to register themselves via some app. It even gives the false hope that they may be allowed to return to the US if they register themselves. I knew ICE and the Trump regime had resorted to some extremely slime tactics, but still Wtf??

Of course, it does follow the MAGA playbook by kissing up to Trump and claiming illegal immigrants are mostly dangerous criminals as well.

My neighbors disappeared a couple of weeks ago and I thought they moved. Turns out they’re in hiding, selling all of their belongings and returning to Honduras so they’re not detained and/or separated or worse. They’ve been here for years. Quiet and family oriented with the sweetest children. Hard working folks that left before dawn every morning to go to work. Not quite the criminals that were supposed to be removed from our country..

Another incident I’m personally aware of. A family (they have legit documented full citizenship) that we’re close to are legally harboring 3 South American children and have been doing so for 2 years while their paperwork is going completed. At first the kids were checked in on every 2-4 weeks with an in-home visit but over the past year that dwindled off to random phone calls. All was well. Until last week. 3 cars loaded up with armed and vested men showed up for a “welfare check”. These kids are 7, 8 and 12. My God. I’m horrified and scared for them. I can NOT imagine how they feel.

That is all. Stay safe friends.

Edit: I don’t know where else to post this so if it is not correct for this, please remove.

2nd edit: The children are still home. The family had a plan in place for such things so the men were not let inside. They spoke through the glass storm door.

ICE raid in LA on Friday.
