I also want to add to @vermontgmg.bsky.social's point on the public hatred of immigration raids. We *just had a test case of this in Virginia.* No one is talking about this, but that election actually tells us something about the politics of immigration:

This has gotten lost: Abigail Spanberger won big after vowing to RESCIND Glenn Youngkin's executive order directing local cooperation with ICE and voting AGAINST the anti-immigrant Laken Riley Act. Yet she gained bigly with working class.

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

"Benioff, who also owns Time magazine, said he had not closely followed the news about the immigration raids, Mr. Trump’s call to gerrymander congressional districts before the midterm elections, the government shutdown or the administration’s attacks on the media."

“Years to come”
As we recently reported, an internal Department of Homeland Security memo lays out top officials' hopes for much more military involvement in domestic law enforcement, and even says LA-type operations may be needed "for years to come."

This is very good from @chrislhayes.bsky.social. One point people have not talked about is the weird, tough dynamic where advocates trying to stop awful anti-immigrant actions and the policy architects can *both* have reasons to show the same horrific injustices.
