Eight contributions, ranging from $450 to $468, all to Trump.

Something here is indeed fishy.

Why would the first ICE raid of Trump's second term target an establishment operated by donors to his own campaign?

(3,922 posts)“Tiny” donations are probably an expense!
Rather than a net positive.
What’s that about not looking at gift horses?

(6,508 posts)From what I've learned going through the hiring process, it's unlikely there are many undocumented workers, if any. But...I'd be unsurprised if there was a raid by ICE. This is NY, where Alvin Bragg actually convicted TSF. Just for revenge, ICE could show up and toss anyone who doesn't have their "papers" into a van and harass them for a couple of days and scare them shitless. After that there'd be no more factory. Would you show up for a job where you could end up behind bars (or worse) even though you were squeaky clean?
Besides, what are the right "papers" anyway.? I have an NY driver's license. Is that enough?
