    And is the mayor’s office and the district attorney’s office inundated with calls from their constituents demanding accountability for the behaviour of the local police here? Are there locally elected officials being shouted at by their constituents into taking action to thwart, delay, frustrate ICE operations?

    So they build an infrastructure, hire a lot of people, get the legal cover they need, deport millions…

    Then they have this whole process ready to go with no immigrants left to deport.

    Do you think it all gets shut down? Detention centers closed, ICE agents fired, etc?

    Or will they feed the new machine with other groups? LGBT? Muslims? Political opponents?

    Just food for thought.

      In a different part of the world, about 90 years ago, dealing with undesirable people started with prototyping the framework on the weakest individuals.

      People with mental disabilities would be shipped to the other end of the country, and there be gassed. Those gassings were in some cases proof of concept for the use of various gasses later on.

      I do see the similarities. But I don’t believe that the US administration is actively exterminating immigrants. But “at least they’re not genocidal” is a pretty low fucking bar to clear. And I’m not sure that we’ve seen it all yet.

      If I was living in the US, I’d get out ASAP. I mean sell my house, even at loss, and GTFO. If being latino with a knuckle tattoo will get you shipped to an El Salvadorian torture prison, what will happen when you post a comment about Trumpaloompa?

        Hitler’s original plan was to deport all the Jews. Extermination then came as a matter of practicability. Don’t let it fool you, this absolutely checks out, they’re laying the groundwork for genocide.

          Many of them literally called it the German equivalent of ‘fake news’ after Hitler spent many years persecuting the independent press, which he and Himmler would smear with the derogative term ‘Lügenpresse’.

          One of the many reasons that Eisenhower forced Germans from towns nearby to tour the camps, and had army documenters and media film the camps to later force adult German citizens to watch while under occupation. Many of them simply chose to believe the obvious lies, and ignore all the evidence they’d seen - it was easier than the awful truth.

      It could have been conjecture but I read on her a few days back that an executive order had absolved ICE from needing to show a warrant, maybe even ID.

      I understand that’s a massive erosion of American people’s constitution but, well, colour me shocked!

    “We don’t have to show you anything,” one agent reportedly shot back when asked for ID or a warrant.

    “The crowd was unruly,” police said in a statement, claiming several individuals “put their hands on federal agents and Worcester officers.”

    There’s no reason to believe that they’re federal agents if they refuse to show ID. And there’s no law against putting your hands on gang members kidnapping one of your neighbors while impersonating federal agents. These dipshits are out of control and fucking stupid.

          I was in several protests that were violently suppressed by police in the US, using tear gas, flash bangs, beatings etc. After threats and fascist violence, groups of armed leftists joined in more frequently. For whatever reason I can’t recall the police attacking while they were there. Like the IDF killing children, they only want defenseless victims.

      This is by design. Have it happen in select locations (Colorado, Massachusetts) so the rest of the country can dismiss it as, “well, at least they aren’t here,” or a detached, “they probably deserved it,” while the behavior is normalized. They’ve started in Tennessee now to get red states normalized.

      It’s all a highly illegal long con so people don’t realize the country’s freedoms and laws being slowly eroded until it is too late.

      Stay vigilant.

            The USA is a failing country right now. It won’t be coming back from this without intervention.

            Protests will not fix the problem because the people in charge don’t care about the laws. They’re on course to start rounding up people they don’t like and shipping them off to black sites. They’re already talking about arresting democrats.

            The USA is currently fucked and unless you can ramp up your actions against the current regime, it’s lost.
