This attitude is rape culture. "You're not entitled to live, except through subservience and generating capital for others" is a hierarchical power situation built and enforced through violence; in this case, extortion via starvation and homelessness.

Including reconciliation bill funding, the Schumer-Jeffries plan would give ICE a $30 billion budget, higher than all but 15 militaries worldwide:

I will be honest: we are not talking nearly enough about the downstream effects of these ICE and CBP deployments.
For example: landlords and debt collectors file more aggressive collection and eviction suits with dubious (or no) factual bases, knowing that the defendants won't go to the courthouse.
