Ran out Attics and crosspaces in the cities to search?

Sure, fuck with the soccer moms. See how that goes for you. Suburbanites are bored as fuck and treat paranoia as an all consuming hobby. They already have a Facebook group to report your cousin's car as a suspicious vehicle if they pop over to say hi, you think these fuckers can't spot an unmarked ICE SUV the second it strays into their turf? Curtain twitching is their only joy in life, this is gonna be like catnip to them.

Nah they're more the Establishment Dem crowd

At this point it's not really all that important if they're Trump friendly or not. ICE started shooting white people, and that broke the right wing social contract; "We'll allow any amount of authoritarian government over reach so long as we believe it will never be used against us."
