I'm surprised we haven't seen more activity from ICE in Portland and the valley, but maybe we're next after Los Angeles runs them out of town.

ICE determines one's legal status based on melanin and accent.

It's fool proof, in that it's proof enough for fools.

Like, on the one hand, its deeply depressing to see some CNN talking head finally find a person he thinks his audience cares about. And it's not a mother who has been separated from her children. Not a college kid who got picked up for waving a watermelon flag in defiance of a genocide. Not a working class schlub who was brutalized for the crime of day-laboring. It's got to be your proto-typical Small Business Rich Guy.

On the other, I just know the conservative goon squad is going to claim he's a member of Al Qaeda or trafficking in fentanyl or illegally participating in a winery awards contest or some dumb shit by the end of the week. So, I guess, welcome to the party Moises Sotelo. Adding Oregon Wine Magnet to the Niemöller poem will be a but rough on the flow, but he's clearly earned his spot.
