Wrote this in the summer of 2020, definitely a good sign to be dusting it off now. "Less lethal" weapons are tools of colonial occupation marketed to police, and tools of police marketed to colonial soldiers. Anti-civilian weapons more than "less-lethal" www.scientificamerican.com/article/what...

Last week, I conducted an unannounced oversight visit at the Northwest Detention Center. I found people who never should have been detained and individuals not being told what their rights are. This is not what the American people want from our immigration system.

The other thing about the militarized teams deployed on deportations is that they are increasingly a coalition of the willing that scrambles chains of command across various dept's and agencies (DHS, ICE, FBI, CBP, BOP, etc), creating what amounts to a personalized militia loyal only to Trump. 🧵

It's not just about news media moving on. DHS and Trump-allied groups are running campaign-style ads about immigration enforcement. It creates an information environment where people are only getting the "Trump is getting dangerous criminals out" message, and not reality.
