Liberalism begins with a promise: no one is born to rule, and no one is born to serve. Power is only just when it answers to the people. That’s the moral root of equal freedom. #LiberalismIsPatriotism

The fact that US law currently permits this is all we need to know about how all nationalisms bend towards fascism.
Focus on "foreigners" allows nation-states to outsource responsibility for their many failures. "Foreign states," "foreign gulags," "foreign people," etc.

Just want to point out that this one little square (Employment-Based Immigration Law) is one of the most bureaucratically baroque and difficult things I've encountered in the law. Makes "closing on a real estate deal" look like napkin math.

From Bovino's deposition: (1) he calls protestors "violent" if they articulate views hostile to ICE, even if no violence is manifested; (2) he instructs his forces to attack and arrest protestors who express "hyperbolic comments," which is to say, criticism of ICE and Bovino.
