This looks like something you'd see in a museum about fascism after 100 million people have died to defeat it

This guy used to be an investment banker with Salomon Brothers & Citigroup. There are tons of cranks like him at the top of American society who truly believe these right-wing urban legends. It's like he's earnestly explaining the existence of Slender Man.

So I have the cover story in next month's TNR.
I interviewed the heads of police groups; immigration defense attorneys, ex-judges and ex-prosecutors; former DOJ and DHS officials, and the former head of Border Patrol.
They're all horrified at what we've seen, and they all fear what's coming.

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.
