Today ICE agents arrested 680 people in Mississippi in the largest single-state raid in their history. 600 agents swept up hundreds at food processing plants in several cities. That which so many dreaded is coming to pass. Don't look away.

"About 600 agents fanned out across the plants involving several companies, surrounding the perimeters to prevent workers from fleeing." Workers are now being held in a military hangar.

What about the kids?
"bus drivers have been given strict instructions to have a "visual reference to a parent or guardian" before they drop the student off. If there is not a parent home, the child will be taken back to school"

Tate Reeves is in a runoff for the Republican nomination for governor of Mississippi. Notice he uses the term "alien". Not person or worker or immigrant. It's language deliberately meant to dehumanize. This isn't the leadership any state needs.
Look for this @HostileTerrain event at the University of Mississippi in Fall 2020.
