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.

When did the German population learn about the gassing?

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.

If you lived near one of the camps, you 100% knew.

“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’m just pleading for them to do this to the wrong set of people who take 2A seriously.

But that’s interesting in of itself. They’re not going after gang members or violent offenders, they’re going for non violent/dangerous people.

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.

Extremely surprising that it didn’t happen yet.

Liberals in America should be arming themselves and stockpiling ammo.

Without civil asset forfeiture and wasteful budgets, would be hard to militarize as much as many US departments

They’ve been playing Military Police for years now. Good news of course is the dozens of joints they’ve taken off our streets!

This is what I don’t understand. What’s then to prevent literally anyone else claiming to be from some other agency to intervene and say they can’t take the person away? And then claim they don’t need to show ID?

I fully agree. With the lack of respect for the law I don’t understand why there aren’t uprisings and riots in the streets by now!

Americans are being scarily apathetic to full takeover of fascism happening there. The constitution is already nullified if judges, mayor’s and those decrying fascism and authoritarianism are being locked away… the night is dark. They should be going by now but alas.

They’re not federal agents. At best they’ve been deputized. Even that’s probably overstating their legal status.
