Hello! I was wondering, is the Cascade Volcanic Arch inactive relative other volcanic archs like it? If so, why?

And why is the great basin so inactive? There is evidence of (Geologically) recent volcanism (like in the case of Sunset Crater) but it seems rather sporadic compared to other rift zones.

Or, it's almost like Biden did not engage in the same policy as Trump.

"The Obama administration separated migrant children from families under certain limited circumstances, like when the child’s safety appeared at risk or when the parent had a serious criminal history.

But family separations as a matter of routine came about because of Trump’s “zero tolerance” enforcement policy, which he eventually suspended because of the uproar. Obama had no such policy."

Confused here, the separation occurs as a result of judicial rulings under the Flores settlement agreement, so the systemic issues are still there under Biden as they were Trump.

No, the systemic issue is not still there. Trump has a "Zero Tolerance" policy that resulted in loads more kids being separated than what is presently happening under the Biden adminastration.

The main complaint against what Trump was doing was primarily centered around his "Zero Tolerance" policy of family separations.
