The article discusses the impact of recent ICE raids on immigrant workers, emphasizing the potential abuse of power when individuals are targeted based on ethnicity. A specific encounter involving a family gardener showcases the fear and distress caused by such law enforcement actions. Additionally, it critiques Donald Trump's attempts to leverage lawsuits against media outlets for perceived slights, arguing that such actions threaten press freedom and discourage journalistic independence. The author warns against the broader tactic of creating a state of emergency to consolidate political control.

Media outlets should not acquiesce to him. CBS did nothing wrong. Why reward Trump with a huge settlement because the journalists were doing their job?
Donald Trump should not receive one red cent from CBS. He has already set his sights on the Pulitzer Prize board because they did not rescind a prize.
It reminds me that the real purpose of many right-wing governments is to put their populace into a state of constant and never-ending emergency.
