Where I come from, if a man hides his face when he comes for you, you know it’s not going to end well.

I don’t care how many federal codes they quote or how many agency acronyms they rattle off—if you’re sending masked men to haul off kitchen staff and groundskeepers, you’ve already lost the moral plot. This isn’t about securing the border. It’s about scaring the hell out of people so they stay small, stay quiet, stay gone.

They say it’s legal. That may be. Slavery used to be legal. So did denying women the vote. So was Japanese internment. Don’t talk to me about legality unless you’re willing to talk about justice, too.

When you see masked agents snatch up people whose only offense is being poor, brown, and undocumented, you better ask yourself: who’s next? Because they’re not stopping here.

Not when fear is the product and cruelty is the brand.
