This Kansas town doesnt hate immigrants enough. So the Trump administration plots vengeance.

The Trump administration has put my town the place my family and I call home on its hit list for a thought crime.
What horrible thing have the people of Lawrence and wider Douglas County done to deserve this fate? Apparently, we dont sufficiently detest immigrants.
Put questions of legal status aside. As we all know, it doesnt matter to the hate-bloated buffoons in Washington, D.C., what papers a person has or doesnt have. They will ship you off to a foreign gulag if youre the wrong color or in the wrong place. Because Lawrence had the unmitigated audacity to care about people who look different, it has been threatened with the full wrath of the federal government.
It might be shocking, if so little was shocking these days.
The Department of Homeland Security posted a list of 500-plus sanctuary jurisdictions on its website May 29, highlighting cities and counties that supposedly run afoul of its anti-immigrant agenda. Three days later, officials took down the page after an outcry from local law enforcement. Thanks to the Internet Archive, you can still browse the list and read the governments inflammatory rhetoric: DHS demands that these jurisdictions immediately review and revise their policies to align with Federal immigration laws and renew their obligation to protect American citizens, not dangerous illegal aliens.
