Early today. I stopped at a church food pantry in an affluent Chicago suburb. 2 hours before the pantry opens, probably 50 people were lined up. I got an earful from the pastor (no she didn't vote for him) on expected shortages, because funding has been cut off.

Quite early this morning, I went to the 24 hour grocery store (shout out to Woodman's!) Now wondering what I will make with the 4 bags of Wisconsin cranberries that I bought because they were very on sale.

Nenko Gantchev should still be alive—home with his family. After 30 years contributing to Chicagoland as a small business owner and taxpayer, ICE detained him, ignored his medical needs, and he died in custody. This system is cruel, reckless, and must be held accountable.

Basically the odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are the same as dropping a golf ball from a helicopter and having it hit a specific square foot of Manhattan south of 52nd Street.

Here is a map of the affected countries (excluding Tonga), to give you a sense of how much this new ban restricts immigration from Africa in particular.
Of the newly-added country, Nigeria faces the largest impact, with tens of thousands of visas issued every year to Nigerians.

Hennepin County dispatch got a panicked call from a Department of Homeland Security supervisor in Minneapolis requesting assistance because “we only have a few officers but we have 60-70 agitators fighting them.” Hennepin deputies didn’t witness any attacks on agents.
