They're part of his official duties so it's all good.
Investigate and prosecute political opponents, sell pardons to your rich friends so they can commit crimes with impunity. Authoritarianism isn’t coming, it’s here, whether people realize it or not.

There is no scenario where Tricia McLaughlin would not blame the victim, would not allege, with zero evidence, that they have assaulted the DHS agent. It his her default setting.

Some Trump administration social media posts mirror extremist rhetoric
While the posts are a small part of the administration’s overall social media presence, experts say they are clear references to white supremacist messaging.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

ICE raids are not the first time this was made explicit. I think people downplay how much Jim Crow was not just about controlling Black people but it was also about controlling white people. If you thought racism was dumb and acted that way you could end up with a bomb in your home
Just keep coming back to the fact that keeping people in a constant state of terror is a form of mass disablement and essential to the eugenic project that is the United States.

Yes. ICE service is being sold to disaffected MAGA goons as an opportunity to wage a campaign of cleansing, restorative violence against Americans as an act of patriotic national service. And most normies now see that this isn't anything akin to real law enforcement.

Not the promises it made to us (cut spending, modernize government, improve services). It worsened state capacity.
