As a prelude to my prediction of planned U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids in Lancaster County and the surrounding areas, President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security has purchased a large warehouse in Berks County for $87 million to detain our friends, co-workers and neighbors who, in most cases, have done nothing seriously wrong other than having been born with the wrong color skin.

I predict they will be terrorized and rounded up like animals by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s masked thugs. In the process, there will be a risk of killings like the death of Renee Good.

How can Republicans who call themselves Christians not call out this administration’s treatment of other human beings?

For those who ever wondered how the German people looked the other way during the Holocaust, I believe that we are living through the answer.
