This clearly looks like the beginnings of Gestapo / Stasi 2.0. Migrants will be only the first group targeted. Once the infrastructure is set up gates are wide open for any kind of use against the “enemies” of the regime.
ICE will reportedly hire contractors to surveil social media platforms 24/7 to target people for deportations.
The information would then be funneled into an existing ICE database built by Palantir (founded by Trump ally Peter Thiel).
"The party of small government,” folks.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.
The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter.
Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

Trump will spend his weekend promoting a new golf course at his resort in Scotland – costing taxpayers an estimated $10 million.
After this jaunt, he will have spent at least $52 million of taxpayer money on golf trips.
If that’s not fraud, waste, and abuse, I don’t know what is.
