Again, German media are better at covering America's fall into fascism than American media. Lead stories in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung: Trump's DC goal is total control über alles. Is this how a dictatorship begins? Trump's propaganda is reminiscent of the Nazis'.

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE.
Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it.
Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

This is how authoritarian state security forces behave in Turkey, China and other countries. Now America joins them.
This is what ICE does: just like they stalked the family’s car and smashed the windows in to kidnap them.
They attack people on the streets grab them and take them to concentration camps.
Entire neighborhoods gather to protect little babies & their moms from being separated & kidnapped.

My personal theory: the quiet border makes the issue’s salience go away, meaning most press attention on immigration is now on internal enforcement and the more outrageous stuff that Trump is doing, and that’s making his poll numbers reverse.
