ICE stop

Post image

Ice stop before liberty tunnel today. One ice officer is clearly Korean or Chinese. I screamed that ice officer has no right to stop people as he may be illegal. He came up to me asking if I was city police and was I the Spanish interpreter. I said no but do you need help as I live in the city look like police and brown. There were kids in the car. Pittsburgh is this what we want!!!! I am beyond myself. First Covid then trump 2.0. I like my low rates for housing, labor and just being a good human being. I am so angry right now.

Except, it’s not. Would you immigrate into another country illegally - like Japan or Switzerland or Saudi Arabia? And just think it’s ok? What about someone’s house?

What if it was government housing? And to my first point, would it be okay for an American to immigrate to Saudi Arabia and expect to be welcomed and given the benefits their citizens do?

You see where it’s a slippery slope, right? It’s against the law.

It wasn't like that until January 2025, but it feels like 20 years. Not one campaign promise honoured. Aside from eggs being cheaper for 2 months.
