    It’s so ironic that South Florida always votes red. The people at highest risk of deportation are the biggest Trump simps. They literally voted for this. And their reason they are so hardcore republican is always “in my country we know what dictators do.”

    In Oregon I believe it’s actually a law that police and officials cannot help ICE or other immigration agencies except under rare circumstances.

    Edit: I just looked it up.

    It is against Oregon law for state and local law enforcement or public agencies (state and local government offices) in the state of Oregon to participate directly or indirectly in immigration enforcement without a judicial warrant.

      Only if you protect it.

      Pacific Northwest got some real interesting rascals.

      Proud boys started in the Pacific Northwest. On the eastern side, domestic terrorist Matt Shea wants to split from WA.

      It won’t be hard for these weeds to sprout back up.

        That may be true, but consider this; just because the gun originated in China, it doesn’t mean China is to blame for the US’s need to worship them.

        The Pacific Northwest may have it a weeds, but as a whole, we are pretty well known as a mostly liberal region. And while those weeds actually do sprout on occasion, there’s a reason why they never bloom:

    Is this because Florida is the state experiment for project 2025? They’re enacting state versions of the federal EO/laws.

    From a presentation standpoint, I am not getting a lot of information from the sizes of the circles. The size scale is helpful when you’re trying to display some continuous features where relative comparisons are meaningful. In this case, it’s really hard to pause the meanings, especially in FL, where the whole thing is just red.

    As a native Floridian this breaks my heart. In my own view immigrants have an even greater claim to being American than I do They chose us, this nation created of immigrants. My family may have been here since the late 1600s, but I’m still only American by accident of birth.

    There’s a reason I now live on the opposite corner of the continent.

    I tend not to read the details on the MAGAchanics of all this, but has anyone seen a cost/benefit analysis showing how much all these enforcements and deportations are costing the taxpayers, and what kind of dollar return is expected? Or is it all kind of lumped into a War to Save Your Freedom, where no cost is too high and questioning the cost = treason?

      DeSantis has spent the past decade radicalizing Florida. He hasn’t stopped, we just can’t hear it over the noise from Trump.

      I’ll also point out that both Florida and Texas were increasingly blue. The increasing radicalization of both states is a deliberate effort to prevent national Democratic party power in the future, a test case for things that they want to do nationally, and provides a power base from which they can try to leverage that power to affect everyone in the country.

    WTF, Wisconsin?! We were proud to welcome among the highest numbers of people from Laos, and our agriculture depends on immigrants to function. This state is so divided against itself.
