ICE has a presence in my area, it's not paranoid schizophrenia. We've had neighbors disappeared. Nearby farms have lost their entire paid, employee workforce. A local small business basically closed one day due to an ICE raid and hasn't recovered. I'm sure there are plenty of other situations that I never even hear about.

Oooh shoot. I'm sorry man you're right, thats totally valid fear, not paranoia at all. Its so awful you have to deal with that. I didn't even consider that as a factor as I'm not from the US.

You're good! That you were concerned and spoke up is awesome. The world needs more of you.
