Charles Blow reminds us of the awful parallels between ICE kidnappings and the 1850s after the strengthening of the Fugitive Slave Law. Do you think pundits should stress those parallels more aggressively?

Thanks for the question Nell. I do think it would be worth looking more closely at parallels in American history, which would highlight how extraordinary much of these actions are.
