Still Rising Again after All These Years, Notion of Immigrants Dept. 0

At SFGate, Paula Mejía writes of Angie ‘the ICE Chaser’ Vargas, a health care professional who has made an avocation of documenting the antics of Donald Trump’s secret police ICE agents in the Los Angeles area on her TikTok account.

In the course of the interview, she gets to the crux of what’s going on (emphasis added).

“I don’t think that it’s fair how [people are] getting preyed on. Honestly, let’s just say it for what it is: It’s racism, and they’re stereotyping us for being brown,” she says. “They don’t go up to white people and ask them for their documentation. You don’t see them in Seal Beach. You don’t see them in Newport Beach. You don’t see them in Laguna. They’re preying on our urban communities.”

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
