It is also the case that a lot of underbrush was not routinely removed… This is somewhat understandable when we are talking about forest fires in more remote parts of California.

The big issue is that underbrush in various parts near Los Angeles suburbs and throughout the area had not been dealt with.

The Getty Mansion and museum grounds were fully within the line of the fire that was coming, but they privately maintained their own grounds and insured that the underbrush that works as kindling for these fires was handled, and even have their own means of fighting fires that would start there… And they were completely fine even though many places all around them burnt down.

Because the UK is famous for arresting transgender people, right…?

I honestly think so, yes, as the older contingent that still tunes in to a lot of TV is often quite conservative.

This kind of reminds me of when anti-deportation activists took (staged?) pictures of wives/children greeting their fathers across the border fence, and someone had pointed out that the policy never actually broke up families…

What broke up families is people deciding for themselves that living in the USA was worth more than living with their father.

I would also point out: they have every right to return when they are 18, which is a hell of a massive right that is completely unearned - most nations do not have any form of birth right citizenship, and I think they are all generally ones in which nobody is particularly eager to obtain their rights of citizenship.
