The Guardian recently published a piece by Francine Prose, alerting readers to a perceived danger of authoritarianism in the US. Prose claims federal agents are creating a climate of fear in Minneapolis. She alleges intimidation, violence, and wrongful arrests. Prose cites the deaths of a poet and a nurse, reportedly at the hands of federal agents. Prose also states that young children are being held in detention. She implores people to prioritise this issue.
