Like the pastor, I’m conflicted about getting arrested for civil disobedience; however, if it means standing against a wannabe dictator with no empathy for immigrants plight, then lock me up. History will be kinder to the pastor and me.

Trump and Vance were never really held accountable for their slanderous comments about these fine people. Thank you finally doing it. If you could get a network program like CBS Sunday Morning to pick up this piece and give it a wider audience it would do wonders to show the barbaric cruelty people are being forced to endure under this regime. Keep up your excellent work. There is much to be done and your work will make a huge difference.

YouTube has become a good forum, free to the "author" and to us, the viewers, and for something like this, uncensored.

As a 72 year old man who loves my country and did all I could in my life to uphold it ideals, I am ready to get into some good trouble for the benefit of the younger generations that stand to lose so much. I am ready to be arrested to make the point that country and constitution is more important than anything else. We must stand up for honesty and truth and this regime be damned.

Exactly my feelings. We have everything to loose if we don't.

Scratch the wannabe dictator. He has succeeded. That what we living under now. It's going to get much worse and much more real for all of us in the coming months.

The Haitians have been taken advantage of in a lot of different ways. The loans on their homes. Were hirer. The insurance to cover their homes is higher because they are Haitians in a Haitian community. But they are the people that work in the nursing homes the jobs that nobody wants to do because they don't get paid a decent hourly salary. Taking care of our elderly is a very important position and we just don't have enough people that are willing to make under $10 an hour and do the things that they have to do. There's other jobs that they can get that are easier. They also do laundry and Cleaning. In the Haitian community the schools can't get teachers so they hire Haitians to teach. This is in the West of South FL.

Thank you to the brave community members who spoke up in your report. We are all immigrants, all of us. Even the indigenous Americans came from somewhere else, long, long ago. This entire argument is so absurd. We are all merely guests on this planet for a time. Thank you for high lighting the humanity in the current situation. It breaks my heart to see people treating each other this way.

Even worse are the people encouraging this hateful behavior, starting with our so-called president. He's supposed to be the president of all of us, no matter what color, religion, political party, gender. If he can't do that, he should resign. If he won't do that, he should be replaced. If that's impossible, then we need to gain enough seats in next year's election to shut down his agenda until he *can* be replaced. But until that glorious day arrives, we CANNOT be silent!

This is the kind of reporting I was waiting for. This is why I subscribed. Excellent reporting, excellent production. Factual, emotional and a story that needed to be told. I think I must have had a bit of dust blow into my eye while I was watching. Thank you, Terry.

Why was no major network willing to go behind the scenes and tell this story? I am afraid we all know the answer to that question--but at least you had the courage to visit and find out the truth. Thanks, Terry

Just look to see who immediately started calling the Gulf- the 'Gulf of America'. "Do not obey in advance" Rule #1 in ON TYRANY. A book I am trying to memorize it is so appropriate to our time.

This is so much better than a network. YouTube would be a good venue for this reporting.

I love how you addressed the youngest as "My fellow American." Trump, Vance, or Stephen Miller cannot take that away from him. This family is more of a reflection of our country than the red hat brigade.

Terry, absolutely first-rate reporting, and you have the "gift" as a writer.

Keep showing us these stories.

This is one of the most repulsive things these cruel people have done to date.

The video report was deeply moving. This is such an important story and we are grateful that you can bring it to us with such empathy and eloquence. It is heartbreaking to listen to the stories of people who do not deserve to be treated by our government so hatefully. People who in fact were contributing to the prosperity of a city that before they arrived was in decline. These are dark days for our country, painful days, but if we keep the stories alive, we have a good chance of surviving. Thank you for keeping this story alive.
