I worked in the DC area, regularly going into the projects, visiting with families terrorized by MS-13, including illegals who’d been in the coyote pipeline. I went by false name, hid as much as I could from public view, changed my work route, regularly, really feared I get my dogs killed or worse to me or my family. Took years after moving 1000 miles away before I slept okay at night.
My question for Q: Has the overall pace and order of the plan gone as hoped for, or have there been major curves and go arounds (plans B, C, D) to get us to this point?
