As the president’s immigration policies take a toll on communities, some of his voters are shaken – but standing by himBy now, the cycle of Donald Trump supporters being slapped in the face by his policies is common enough that it shouldn’t warrant a response. What is noteworthy is the fact that his crusade of mass deportations seems to have taken the Maga crowd by surprise in a way that makes little sense if you’ve been paying attention to Trump, his campaign promises, his party and the people he surrounds himself with.Even as they witness friends and family members hurt by this administration’s immigration clamp-downs, some Trump supporters appear resistant to doing a full 180.Tayo Bero is a Guardian US columnist Continue reading...

2 w. ago Will the public side with the protesters in LA? Here are some lessons from history | Musa al

Social movements have long included some form of direct conflict with authorities. The key is whom the public blames for clashesOn 6 June, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) conducted aggressive raids in Los Angeles, sweeping up gainfully employed workers with no criminal record. This led to demonstrations outside the Los Angeles federal building.
