They're just randomly picking out places where it feels like there might be undocumented residents hanging out, looking for work, or actually working, right?
So that's not nothing that business owners can say, you can't come in here without a warrant, because that slows the process down at the very least, right?
Well, that's that's meaningful also, because last night there was a report that ICE officers arrested workers at a Mexican restaurant after the ICE officers had just eaten at the Mexican restaurant.
As if kind of like they wanted like, I don't know, tacos and like went in, had the tacos and were like, you know what?
Why don't we grab some migrants here as long as we're done with our barbacoa?
No cookies for you.
You know, as we talk about sort of what's happening on the streets, there's also the reality of what's unfolding behind closed doors.
And I think if you have been disturbed by the treatment of both American citizens and non-citizens alike on the streets of Minneapolis or another major American city, there is reporting out this week about what's going on in ICE detention centers.
That is very alarming.
2025 was the deadliest year for ICE in two decades.
There were 32 deaths in ICE custody.
There have been several just this year alone, and we're on the 16th day of January.
What checks are supposed to be in place as far as detention?
And I would assume this is all subject to congressional oversight.
But if you're in Congress, can you not go to an ICE detention center and demand to get let in?
So that is what the law says.
