To Trump, anyone who is an immigrant is a criminal (criminal record or not) deserving violent arrest and removal. But when this non-white racial eradication policy vis-à-vis unhinged ICE thug brutality hits a Trump voter’s back yard, they are curiously shocked.

DUH.

We need to wake up.

I’ve read Mein Kampf.

Trump and his henchmen are dehuminizing immigrants in America the same way Hitler and his henchmen dehuminized the Jews in Germany. And Trump wants to build a large network of new detention centers (concentration camps).

ICE is Trump’s Brown Shirts.

Urgent plea for non-MAGA billionaires: UNLEASH YOUR WEALTH NOW to help save our democracy. Your MAGA counterparts (who outright contributed to his campaign, or East Wing demolition, or who otherwise caved to Trump’s deranged dictatorial demands) will use their wealth to rig the mid-term elections.
January 19, 2026 at 3:31 PM
ICE’s reputation under Trump/Noem can never recover. When the MAGA Republicans are ousted, ICE should be abolished; Customs and Border Patrol mission should be absorbed by the US Coast Guard; DHS should be dismantled as a cabinet level organization; immigration services must rise in priority.
