This is a pretty important point!
The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

Ran my 1997 salary as an executive assistant for Nickelodeon’s VP of Animation through an inflation calculator today and realized I’m making LESS now as a lead videogame writer with 50+ shipped games & $7B in earnings. But now I have a wife & 3 kids. Where’d that money go? Billionaire pockets. #FTW

I am actually less concerned about these citizens getting letters, than what it reveals about how truly sloppy their system must be, and what it may mean for an immigrant, who may *also* be receiving such a notice by mistake in a system where they don't even have right to a lawyer.
Dr. Lisa Anderson says she recently received a letter from the DHS telling her, “It is time for you to leave the United States."
Immigration authorities have been pushing noncitizens to “self-deport.”
But Dr. Anderson was born in Pennsylvania and is a U.S. citizen. nbcnews.to/4jhI6Fx
