"Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart; men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared." ——Anne Frank, January 13, 1943

Anne Frank's "Diary of a Young Girl" has been banned in some places.
https://www.marshall.edu/library/bannedbooks/diary...The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank has faced multiple challenges and has been temporarily removed from some school libraries, but it is not banned nationwide.
Controversial content: Critics have objected to the book's passages that discuss Frank's curiosity about her body and sexuality as a teenager. Some have referred to these passages as "pornographic," while others have used her exploration of her own body and feelings as a reason for removal.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.
It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help. He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days...

That guy is a hero!
Also it looks like we've arrived at the Anne Frank stage of Trumps presidency.

Yep, we've gone fascist. And it's up to us to resist and then steer this ship away from the shoals.

This is believable:
At one point, he went outside to check on things. He said ICE shouted at him to “shut my door, get the f--k inside, and don’t open my door again.”
And this too:
During the Sept. 30 raid, residents, migrants, including the woman’s husband, and squatters alike were zip-tied in the middle of the night. Other residents — like the man who helped his neighbors hide — were left undisturbed by ICE agents, prompting questions about what federal authorities knew about the building’s occupants ahead of time and how they obtained that information.
Remnants of the raid and interviews with residents who lived through it reveal some hints, including a mysterious map of the building found in the complex and makeshift door stickers that took inventory of occupants in some units.
