    Just a reminder to folks who are sympathizing but hesitant, DACA are people brought over as minors. They did not have any decision making in coming here legally or not and largely haven’t grown up outside the US. They are Americans, plain and simple. Regardless of the legal system at play here, morally and ethically they belong in their home in the US. We need to fight the idea of deportation being acceptable here (and broadly as well). Please stand up for your neighbors!

      Yea well I’m not a rich or influential person so there nothing I could do about it. Like the best I can do is not report anyone that I know is undocumented, I can’t stop everyone else from reporting them.

      And also I’m one person, I cannot fight a squad of ICE agents.

        Definitely not expecting you alone to solve this issue! I am speaking generally to anyone reading to be aware of the tangible effects of these policy decisions on actual people who, under even pretty strict definitions, didn’t do anything wrong.

        The solution to feeling powerless as an individual, btw, is to find like-minded people and organize! In 2017 people came together to stop ICE agents in airports, on Greyhound busses, and more. No one is asking folks to be John Wick.
