This is not a "possibility," it is very, very obviously what's currently happening. The only reason people in power want to view it as a possibility rather than an ongoing fact is that they are scared of the implications. If it's the latter, they have to *do* something. History calls. It's scary!
"The most disturbing possibility is that the president is creating a militia which answers only to himself ... Abroad, from El Salvador to the Philippines, would-be despots often turn the army and the police against their people in the name of keeping order." www.economist.com/leaders/2026...
ICE’s impunity is a formula for more violence
Is America’s president building his own paramilitary militia?

Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?
HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

The penalty for disrespecting the vehicle of a masked goon getting paid by taxpayers to kidnap children is death. You'll be restrained then shot in the back and the government will protect your killers.

Information that Alex Pretti kicked an ICE vehicle a week before he was killed is newsworthy but ultimately of little importance. In other words, yes, it should be reported, but so what?

In the '60s, who thought a Family Affair comic book was a good idea?
Who bought it from a newsstand and kept it in near-pristine condition?
Decades later, who sends this in to be graded?
Who buys it today for $84?
Honestly, this shouldn’t even exist.
