Reports of federal immigration sweeps are warping life in California’s Central Valley

TRUTH BE TOLD, there’s a lot of white trucks in Modesto.

White Dodge Rams, white GMC Sierras, white F-150s, white Ford Transit vans, white Suburbans, white Silverados, white Chevy Colorados. So many white trucks, all of them American-made: a sure sign of danger to people who read about a January immigration raid 130 miles south and spent the next two months watching for signs of the next one.
