Today is the International Day for Poverty Eradication. I think back on Dad's teachings regarding poverty. In Strength to Love he wrote: “God never intended for one group of people to live in superfluous inordinate wealth, while others live in abject deadening poverty.”

Federal immigration agents have detained an alarming number of U.S. citizens, demonstrating their widespread failure to respect basic protections against wrongful seizures.
“Any one of us could be next,” said Cody Wofsy, Deputy Director of our Immigrants' Rights Project.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

"It would be bad enough if the Trumps and their pals were merely trading off the presidency on the side. Even worse are the cases where the president is getting the U.S. policy apparatus involved." The corruption is open and industrial-scale this time.

Trump’s deportation regime is a stain on our country. The bigger stain is that we voted for it.
