A few years ago, I spoke to an American girl who'd just returned to France, and asked what she thought the main difference between Americans and Europeans was.
Her answer?
"Americans are afraid of everything."
That was her take away from living in Europe for 6 months.

The Obama and Biden administrations focused immigration enforcement on threats to national security and public safety, utilizing a system of legal review and judicial orders for deportations. It was about smart, lawful enforcement, not sweeping, indiscriminate removals that bypass the courts.

The most alarming lesson from history is not how authoritarians rise - but how democracies fall. They crumble not with one blow, through slow erosion - when good people hesitate, institutions bend, and when the public numbs itself to escalating abuses.
