"As two masked men dragged her into an unmarked SUV, Andrea Velez tried to focus on details she might later remember – one man’s red shirt, the car’s leather seats, a black backpack inside.
At 9.20am on 24 June in downtown Los Angeles, the 32-year-old was heading into work at a footwear company when the men in gator masks jumped out of their car and started chasing vendors and other people on the street, she recalled. As people fled, Velez froze and held on to her bag."

"After her charges were dismissed, Velez felt some relief, but she said she was still riddled with fear that Ice could target her. She was also shaken by images of the vendors and workers who she saw being detained for deportation: 'These were people just heading into work, going about their days. We don’t know where they were being taken, and it just broke my heart that they may never see their families again.'
Velez has been working remotely since her arrest, terrified of returning to downtown.
She does virtual therapy, no longer goes on morning runs and never leaves home by herself: 'I don’t feel safe knowing they can randomly attack and take you.'"

I think that only the very selfish, small-minded people could think that something like this was actually a good use of money and resources. Apparently the "Superman" guy is either like that, or he never reads anything that he doesn't want to know about.

I thought he would have had to have read something in this life. Didn't he ever read scripts to act? He has a brain and he could use it. He just chooses not to.
What a selfish person.
