“As Noura Erakat points out, invoking Aimé Césaire’s formulation, these events might be understood as a “boomerang effect”: the violence and repression made permissible in the colonies manifests at home, breathing new life into authoritarian states and intensifying carceral institutions..”

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
