Was it just a coincidence that the raid in MS food plant was at same time as Trump visit to El Paso?

From reports, it was planned months ago. But they decided to do it today?

They arrested over 600 people, and family members were separated.

If this was not a coincidence, what was the message Trump was trying to send?

And who was he trying to send it to?

If it was not a coincidence, it sounds so inhumanely cruel.

He is being deliberately cruel. He knows his days are numbered which is why he pulled this stunt today and probably why he ordered the raid. Watch it get worse.

and it is naive to think they weren’t prepared for a notorious mass murder inspired by Hair Fuhrer’s rhetoric. The 1% have weaponized hate for tax cuts and feudalism.
