If you've written a book or many or are writing one now, what a cool fucking thing you are doing. I hope you bask in how awesome it is that you had ideas and thoughts and worked on them for years to develop them into words others can understand. Like that's some sorcery shit. Fuck AI, THIS is magic.

Leo Vanegas, the American citizen that Miller's goons arrested w/o a warrant at a home site twice, is the kind of home builder without which you can't build new homes.

Stephen Miller is the problem.

12. Plaintiff Leonardo (“Leo”) Garcia Venegas was born in 1999 in Lehigh Acres, Florida. He is a natural-born United States citizen with Mexican heritage. When Leo was 14, he moved with his family to Robertsdale, Alabama, where he has lived ever since. Since graduating from Robertsdale High School in 2018, Leo has worked in construction, mainly as a bricklayer, as a mason, and now as a concrete finisher. Because of Defendants’ unlawful policies, Leo has experienced two warrantless raids while working on privately marked or enclosed construction sites. Both times, immigration officers preemptively detained Leo without any particularized basis to suspect he was undocumented—and then continued to detain him even after he showed his REAL ID. Because Defendants continue to enforce the policies that caused these abuses, Leo risks enduring another unlawful raid and detention every day he goes to work.

I'm a retired Navy Chief who has done these counter-drug deployments. I've been calling @repkweisimfume.bsky.social asking him to have a retired Navy captain come testify about how this is supposed to work in front of Congress. He refuses to take action. Please call him.
