USPS law enforcement assists 'mass deportation' effort, sources and records show

After decades of reliable local service, USPS deliveries are becoming erratic. Small shipments from China hit the local USPS distribution center then disappear for over a week. Where they go afterward is a crap shoot.

This times with the extra scrutiny being given to packages without the extra manpower that demands.

To combat the delays, I created a USPS login and I now file missing mail reports on every package from China, one day after it hits the local distro. That gets the packages delivered in a day instead of 10 or more.

I also had my first ebay shipment from Canada get hit with a customs hold but that was FedEx. For their part they had a expedited process and the shipment was moving again in a some hours.

Well, that's just great - we'll have to add the Post Office to the list of government or quasi-governmental officials that can't be trusted. How long before firefighters and EMS have to get added to that list?

this reads as desperation the postal service has no excess capacity, 1200 security staff to watch 350 million peoples mail. the need for a major news day to show results and justify turning everything upside down are increasing the chances of a false positive, leading to a massive over reaction with the wrong people

If we're already going into the idiotic-authoritarianism of Brazil... Does anyone have a list of undocumented-immigrant names plus mailing-addresses of Trump supporters?

If anyone is getting their doors smashed open by government goons seeking Anne Frank in the attic, it should be the people who enthusiastically voted for it.
