The canary has been screaming its lungs out since Bill Clinton introduced his racist anti-immigrant bill in 1997, but both Republicans and Democrats have not only ignored its cries, but hastened its situation. Both parties have created this. Don’t think this won’t affect us all.

        Several Navajo in Arizona got swept up by ICE because they “looked illegal”. Trump has also floated the idea that Native Americans don’t have citizenship.

      Multiple legal citizens have been detained by ICE and asked for their passport as proof of citizenship. Communities around me are now getting their passports specifically to avoid the fate of their family.
