This is going to be a very important law in the near future. Prosecutions under this statute should be applied liberally.

This continues to get lost, but Miller is sinking massive resources into boosting the sheer numbers of deportations (to shift the ethnic mix of the country) at the expense of public safety.

This is empirically the case. It's almost never explained this way.

Impossible to describe what a raw nerve the rapid response channels are when you’re NOT on patrol. ICE sighted everywhere, all over the neighborhood. Silence and then swarming.

This is not an immigration agency, it is not a law-enforcement agency. It is a state-sponsored terror agency.

The second a soldier thinks he knows better than his civilian leadership, a door is opened and that door swings both ways. Why should a politically conservative soldier then follow the orders of a liberal politician? This is how you get President For Life Dort.

You're laughing, I'm not joking.
This is the entire shebang right here. THE MILITARY CANNOT SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. If Congress won't provide oversight, it falls to Flag Officers to make them understand the nature of the situation, by resigning en mass if necessary.

Who among them will live up to the values of their profession?

Revolutions are built not by people going off and starting sporadic gunfights or lone wolf bombings, but when a self-organized parallel structure starts to take hold while the government loses its legitimacy.

This isn’t about deporting “the worst of the worst.” It’s about deliberately sowing fear and chaos in cities that oppose the Trump regime

1/ With this policy, the administration has effectively created a federalized immigration enforcement force embedded within local policing nationwide—one that mirrors key structural features of a secret police system.

Christ. We all suspected this. But the narcissistic cockalorum actually put his “if you don’t give me the Peace Prize I’ll start waging wars” threat in writing.

The petulant pillock is literally ready to kill people because he didn’t get his Special Prize.

At a deep theoretical level, Stephen Miller and JD Vance think their view that immigrants threaten social solidarity is widely shared. But what's now happening is MAGA is driving native-born Americans to show solidarity with immigrants. Now Miller is trying to break that up w/coercion and violence.
Terror is essential to Miller's project. It's designed to dissuade us from showing solidarity with the immigrants getting removed. Stand in the way of ethnic cleansing and you risk violence yourself.

Congress can stop ICE. Congress can block the use of force in Greenland. In other words, in this crisis, Congress can act to support civil liberties at home and free nations abroad. To fail to act would be to be complicit in a dreadful outcome.

Brief operational term of art 🧵 to help better define what we're experiencing. What we're experiencing is state terror. I've seen a lot of terms thrown around for what the Trump admin is doing w/ICE, CBP, & other federal law enforcement (LE). The now largely out of use term is state terror. 1/

Training cannot correct for deficiencies resulting from a lack of vetting. Remember what federal LEOs are normally screened for (CARLA F. BAD):

Character
Associates
Reputation
Loyalty
Ability
Finances
Bias
Alcohol/Addictions
Drugs

ICE is not being vetted against any of these. Shut it down.
No. We don’t need to “modify ICE training.” We need to close DHS. Dismantle it. It’s an outdated expensive bureaucracy that’s been usurped by violent white supremacists. Shut it down.
