Describing ICE as “Gestapo” or “SS” skips a step.
What you’re seeing is earlier—closer to the SA phase:
– arbitrary arrests
– coercion
– detention without due process, backed politically
BUT this is getting WORSE — if you ALLOW it to continue.

In Switzerland, you think will I survive?
In the U.S., it’s can I afford to?
Every Swiss, even the poorest, is covered by insurance.
No ideology — a wealthy, conservative nation that cares.
Caring for people isn’t radical — it’s what civilization looks like.

Stephen Miller’s family fled antisemitic pogroms in the Russian Empire (Belarus).
They made it to America because the U.S. once welcomed refugees.
That’s the only reason he’s a citizen today.
Now he wants to suspend habeas corpus – to jail others without a trial?
This isn’t irony.

Stephen Miller says they are “actively looking at” suspending the writ of habeas corpus, which is only allowed when the US has been invaded or during an insurrection, which would not allow people to challenge their incarceration in court if they are arrested and detained.
