I'm Dan Schaefer, let's recombobulate.
In recent weeks, the level of activity from immigrations and customs enforcement, or ice,
has increased quite a bit.
There was a raid in Manitawak at a Walmart parking lot where dairy workers were known to congregate,
a series of arrests in Madison, and in Milwaukee, ice is looking to expand its operation significantly
by seeking office-based downtown to go along with a new field office on the city's northwest
side.
This has been concerning for many, and not without reason.
A recent large-scale ice raid in an apartment building in Chicago saw reports of armed
federal agents breaking down doors, U.S. citizens detained for hours on end, and children
being dragged from their homes in the middle of the night.
While the American immigration system has a host of problems, this kind of violent
show of force is not an acceptable way to address these problems.
And ice also just received an injection of $45 billion in the one big beautiful bill,
so it is imperative for all of us to hold ice accountable and speak out when things
go too far.
Right now, things are going way too far.
