This comes as Trump continues to promise mass deportations if he is reelected, starting in Springfield, even though the Haitians there were welcomed under the Temporary Protected Status program.

“Redirecting route…” Ever heard this with a sinking feeling as your car’s GPS fights to reconcile the ideal path to your destination? We’ve all been there — road-trip-ready, and then it hits — construction, blown tire, a tanker overturned — and you come to that dead stop, only to crawl at a snail’s pace to a random unknown exit. The trip’s early optimism is replaced with the growing dread that perhaps this trip was a bad idea after all. For many the “journey of DEI” may feel…
