What's really telling about all this crap is that in NC they're clearly targeting only blue-voting cities like Charlotte and Asheville. I seriously doubt they'll be raiding, say, the Tyson Poultry plant up in Wilkesboro for illegal workers, or some furniture plants in Lenoir or Hickory or other MAGA-voting foothills towns. And no farms will be raided for illegal workers. Just larger blue-voting cities will be targeted and people - including legal citizens - will be harassed, intimidated, bullied, and abruptly arrested and detained for however long with little to no legal representation. Just disgusting and oh-so-authoritarian.

The ladies who clean our house (a pair of middle-aged sisters) sent us a text today that they wouldn’t be coming tomorrow because the immigration situation is tense and they are afraid to go out into the city. That’s gotta be really hard on them because if they don’t work they don’t make money.

I would like to pay them anyway but I always give them cash and they don’t have Venmo or Zelle as far as I know. It looks like my lazy ass is gonna have to clean my own house this week!

Take it from me, the house can go a week without being cleaned!
 
I just received this from the company that services my lawn:

“Good Morning,
Due to recent reports of Border Patrol and ICE conducting large-scale operations in the area, several of our employees have not been able to come to work. We do not want to place any employee at risk, as there have been instances where individuals have been detained without proper identification checks.

At this time, we are unsure when our team will be able to return to work. We will keep you updated as soon as we have more information.

Thank you for your understanding.”

They also aren’t targeting criminals, which is what they claim. The CBP presence has zero impact on Charlotte’s crime rate. They aren’t policing, they are intimidating and terrorizing.

They are terrorizing communities full of good, hardworking people who contribute so much to the community at large. It’s disgusting.

I hope that as these otherwise hardworking people don’t come to work to avoid the harassment that is being directed toward them, the assholes who support Trump realize that this shit can have consequences for them too.

Karma is going to be a motherfucker for Greg Bovino.
 
This is like HB2 on steroids. It's absolutely idiotic for the Pubs to be picking this fight with the largest population center in a purple state less than a year before an election where the Pubs are defending a vulnerable Senate seat. Maybe they've already written it off, but this will have a significant impact nonetheless.

So much performative bullshit, so little time.

Exactly. If they were actually trying to impact crime in the city they wouldn’t have a deadline but would stay until they make a measurable difference. Alas, the show has future dates already booked. Like the circus, they have to load up the clowns and move on to the next town.

But, farce, they HAVE impacted crime in the cities they've visited - vandalism has increased with scores of broken windows and doors, assaults on law-abiding residents have skyrocketed, listless loitering has ratcheted up, and intentional vehicular accidents have ticked up. These unwanted carnies BRING crime with them to any community they choose to invade.
