That does not look like an abandoned trailer to me.

It’s good to see the Biden administration approved the permits. That should help keep discussions grounded a bit. The story shouldn’t be a political cudgel, since both sides have a hand in it.

In Michigan, if the trailer has plates, after 18 hours it's considered abandoned. No plates, immediately. So don't expect to be able to judge an abandoned trailer by eye.

Well, that’s interesting.

I’m used to seeing brightly colored police notices on vehicles left unattended. They spell out how much time the owner has to move the vehicle. If the move doesn’t happen in time, the vehicle is subject to impound.

A pre-emptive "both-sides"?

No, just a fan of people being informed.

People are being manipulated into outrage for political purposes. Many are unaware that previous administrations ( yes, on both sides ) prioritized deportations. The federal machinery in use has been in place over several presidencies and operated in many of the same ways. When given this information, people make less radical outbursts, which is good.
