Timothy Egan’s 'A Fever in the Heartland: The Ku Klux Klan’s Plot to Take Over America, and the Woman Who Stopped Them' provides a window into our own times.
Hooded KKK members and their tactics remind me of the masked ICE agents roaming our streets in search of undocumented immigrants. Calling ICE the modern day KKK may be how we shame Americans who support mass deportation. It's deeply disappointing to think that we are still dealing with hate for those who are deemed "other" over a century later.
This sounds interesting. I might try this after I finish ‘Strange People On The Hill’.

I expected more pushback when I invited comparisons to ICE agents in the piece, but I do think the parallels hold.
