The argument in the text is they can’t accomplish their policy goal while following due process (and therefore the standards should flex). That’s a general purpose argument for fascism, not one specific to immigration.

When you think of what the US state has at its disposal, totalitarianism does not look impossible: - Facial recognition technology - Armed drones, that can take out marked people - A propaganda system already enmeshed in our lives (social media) - Militias ready to become death squads Resist now.

Man films and confronts two suspected undercover ICE officers (potentially NYPD) after they racially profiled and handcuffed a random civilian. Keep doing this shit. Make these fuckers famous. Make all police and immigration officers fear having their faces known to the masses.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

I am once again begging people to realize that the law is words on paper and is not self executing. "That's illegal" is not and has never been synonymous with "that's impossible" or "that can't be done." "That's illegal" means "you might get in trouble for that depending on who you are."

If you're being kidnapped, you have a right to defend yourself. If someone approaches you and tries to throw you in a van and they present no ID and no warrant, you're being abducted. In many states, you can respond with lethal force. Understand the law.

This is also the reason they are starting with pro-Palestinian activists and charges of antisemitism. They as well as many liberals normalized them as legitimate targets associated with terror, thus opening the door for this kind of retribution. It’s a blueprint for targeting other activists.

I cannot stress enough how deep the rot goes and how long it has festered and how powerfully fucking obscene it is that this gilded system of oppression and torment we live in has claimed to be a free nation of laws and morals, ever.

Since the Trump admin continues to claim Mr. Abrego Garcia is a gang member, I thought I'd take the time to put together a timeline, based on all the documents filed in court, which lays out all the "evidence" the government has ever offered. As you'll find out, there's very little "there" there!
