I wonder what those numbers have been lately.

All it will take from (what I read about that immigration bill - has the senate passed it too? god I hope not), this bill would allow neighbors or strangers to 'snitch' on POC - and all they have to say is I /think/ they are a gang member (or I think they are a shoplifter) and they can be DETAINED, without any kind of due process. They are assumed to have no rights and assumed to be undocumented aliens.

What is Trump going to call his prison work camps?

I cry for America. Please don't snitch on People of Color, it is so wrong, so un-American, so NAZI

It's not that simple. When you nationalize the National Guard, control shifts from a Governor to the President. Upon 24601 Jan 20 #19
