John Sutter : What will you do if men in uniforms arrive in your neighborhood, and an immigrant neighbor gets a knock on the door and is led away in handcuffs? He asks: If you’re called to serve on the jury hearing the grandmother’s case, or do you hold out against 11 of your peers? Sutter asks: What would you do? What if you are a law enforcement officer ordered to arrest more Black people by a city administration that fears federal intervention should the police fall below certain minority quota?.

Frida Ghitis : What do you do if you’re a federal bureaucrat ordered not to authorize spending for a highway that Congress requires by law that you spend? Or maybe you are an IRS auditor, ordered to pick through the tax returns of a White House critic; a State Department bureaucrat is ordered to cancel the passport of White House critics; a CIA officer harboring suspicions that evidence smearing a family member of a prominent Democrat may be the product of a foreign disinformation campaign that has not been investigated for political reasons.

Frida Ghitis: Are you a National Guardsman in Texas ? Or a clerk for a right-wing federal judge? Or you drive a bus filled with migrants and dump them out next to the contents of the vehicle’s septic tank? Ghitis asks: What are you prepared to do? Do you start the engine?.
