The US turned a blind eye on border patrol.
81,000 undocumented migrants were maroons in hostile areas and left for dead, according to former border patrol agent Jenn Budd.
"A ProPublica report finds that more than 170 U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE agents at raids and protests across the country. More than 20 citizens were held in detention without being able to contact their loved ones or a lawyer. ICE agents also arrested 130 citizens, [...]."
Those 20+ were held longer than a few hours.

Any one of us could be detained for hours by ICE despite being a U.S. citizen.
Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night.
Any one of us could be the next to be brutalized by ICE for speaking out.
Authoritarianism hurts all of us.
@rbreich This is not just authoritarianism. This is a textbook fascism.
@rbreich Don't worry the Second Amendment will protect us lol.
