Although they seemed to neutered their own work with the headline of “not worried”

Somewhat, but just raising the issue and making sure that people are aware is important in and of itself IMO

I've been on the one hand worried that it is just a matter of time but on the other genuinely curious what would happen if a deportation took a high profile college/pro athlete out. The devil on my shoulder would be especially curious if it happened to a critical player on an SEC football team.
