New recession indicator?
5. Zooming in on LA area, there was a ramp up in arrests that increasingly impacted those without a criminal conviction *right before* the protests in LA began June 6th (red line)
As protests continue, ICE arrests continue. These arrests affect more and more people without criminal convictions.

4. We look area by area at changes in arrests types.
Some arrests have initial spike because of pre-existing CAP programs (e.g. Houston, New Orleans, Miami).
Others have spike in arrests due to the new city-wide raids that ICE have been conducting (e.g. Boston, Denver, Los Angeles).

2. ICE increasingly arrests people through methods that do not target those with a criminal conviction
Initial post Trump arrests through CAP-where ICE screens inmates in incarceration facilities
Recent spike through other methods that mostly arrest those without criminal conviction

Some good news today!
I've had several sleepless nights recently wondering what I'd do if I didn't have tenure. It's rough out there right now and I hope to keep making it better for people less fortunate than me.

An extremely important part of this report from @benzipperer.org @epi.org is calculating the state by state job losses that will result from mass deportations
Here in Colorado, Trump's proposed deportations would reduce the labor force by 3% and reduce the construction labor force by a WHOPPING 23%
