    How could they possibly think they could get away with this?

      Also, these Nazi goons have quotas to meet. And the quota doesn’t care if they are a citizen or not.

          In a tense meeting last week, top Trump aide Stephen Miller and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem demanded that immigration agents seek to arrest 3,000 people a day, according to two sources familiar with the meeting.

            Could we get three thousand lily-white rich people to volunteer to get arrested and released every day so ICE can leave everybody else alone for a minute?

              “Flood the zone” is a political strategy in which a political figure aims to gain media attention, disorient opponents and distract the public from undesirable reports by rapidly forwarding large volumes of newsworthy information to the media.[1][2][3][4] The strategy has been attributed to U.S. president Donald Trump’s former chief political strategist Steve Bannon.[4][5][6]

        Apparently people in the media.

        But also, I’m pretty surprised how many Americans can’t explain what’s going on, even on a basic level.

        Ask an American: if Trump decides to make an executive decision to incinerate people in his immigration detention camps, and federal judges say no, but he says, “I don’t answer to you,” then who is going to actually stop him? The good quality people of America who have already let him get this far? Those people?!

        ICE is him doing whatever he wants. And when ICE becomes powerful enough, he will take the country by force. Which will be super easy and no one will oppose him beyond a picket sign.

            I know we all make jokes about Gravy Seals or Y’all Qaeda but the stark reality here is that we have a very large number of trained killers and white supremacists with military experience and active engagement in militias. There are some very dangerous people out there, they’ve stolen actual machine guns and explosives from the military. Others are manufacturing these weapons in their basement workshops but the police don’t do anything about it because it’s a “good ol boys” club. A fascist trained today, did you?

                Private citizens don’t have enough ammo or replacement parts for the complex systems. Though a semi automatic rifle with 25rounds will take a lot of people out.

    " The episode has prompted renewed national scrutiny of immigration enforcement tactics and the use of subjective indicators, such as accent and language, in assessing citizenship status"
    Is no one keeping a formal tally of illegal ICE incidents outside of the federated channels?
