Jun 7, 2026, morning
In June 2026, we made the mistake of going to Home Depot. On our way to the entrance, we passed two Immigration Customs Enforcement agents. They lurked in an alcove away from the entry wearing body armor and weapons like military grade bling. I thought that they were the usual post-9/11 rent-a-cop. They reeked of unprofessionalism, fear, and hostility. My friend asked me if I thought they were ICE. Of course! They were at Home Depot to target day laborers. No day laborers waited at ICE Depot.
