My LTEs to suggest that ICE's presence in Tucson will be coming have been met with little or ineffective response by local elected officials. A press release from City of Tucson, without notice re: translation for immigrants and an elected official, that is more concerned about the police chief speaking with your reporter, Steller to modify his comments.
AG Kris Mayes has warned that here, in an open carry state, there will surely be clashes with recklessly trained ICE agents. Perhaps we are now seeing what immigrants have had to deal with, the brutality and level/method of enforcement.
Young and old Latino citizens are upset and carrying their passports, expecting the unexpected. City workers are being questioned by brilliant ICE agents who can't see they are driving a City vehicle. Now, another death in Minnesota, an unnecessary car chase on 1-19 resulting in deaths, and the attempt to extort Minnesota officials to turn over their voting rolls, in exchange for withdrawing their ICE troops.
