Photos: Rodney Cammauf / NPS and public domain. In February, Douglas Dixon was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and taken to a Florida migrant detention camp. This month, Dixon was deported back to Canada. Dixon, a dad and grandad who ran a Tropical Smoothie Café in Port Charlotte, Florida, was a legal permanent resident of the United States. Covid forced him to shut down the business. He fell behind in his taxes. Before the arrest, which separated him from home and family, he was delivering groceries for DoorDash. Dixon wound up at Florida’s first state-run migrant detention camp,…
California’s proposed “billionaire tax” is keeping the state in the news these days, as are government policies that hike the price of gasoline in the Golden State to ridiculous heights. The propensity for ever-higher taxes and always tighter regulations in California is now a defining characteristic of the place and it has consequences. Those consequences can be measured in terms of lost jobs and a sluggish economy. You are reading The Rattler from J.D. Tuccille and Reason. Get more of J.D.’s commentary on government overreach and threats to everyday liberty. “California’s economic performance has fallen sharply behind the rest of…
