"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

this is a segregationist administration and it is wild to me that there is any resistance to this straightforward observation
It’s like telling a cancer institute to stop spending so much on cancer research.

Black Americans make up 13% of the population. But as federal government employees, Black employees are:
20% of the Dept. of Health & Human Services
24% of the Dept. of Veterans Affairs
26% of postal workers,
30% of the Dept. of Education
That's the "swamp" Trump is draining.
