A Charlotte pastor said Border Patrol came into his church and arrested a father in front of his wife and kid. The folks were outside on the property cleaning up the yard when ICE started chasing after them. Some ran in the church thinking it's off limits to ICE. Apparently not.

One thing that's abundantly clear: passing the SAFE Research Act would permanently end the United States' ability to be competitive in any area of advanced technology. Just straight up suicidal policy-making.
This has gotten surprisingly little attention — it's not even on the front page of @science.org right now — but it's really hard to describe what the SAFE Research Act would do to US science and scientists without sounding insane
