This is... so grotesque. Absolute anarchy.
The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law

“It turned out ICE is not a Gestapo for undocumented immigrants.
It is a general Gestapo — a secret national police force not just for undocumented immigrants but for any immigrants…and if Trump has his way, soon, even citizens.”

The ICE man cometh
Trump's Gestapo is here. It operates throughout the country. It can suddenly arrest anyone, with no crime alleged, and deport them for permanent imprisonment overseas. Will anyone stop this?

It’s time for people of faith, morality, and conscience to hold the people in our lives accountable for their willing partnership with this filth.
We may need to finally sever ties with our family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers who still champion him.

We're sorry to the leaders of the world, who instead of being met by level-headed, measured, intelligent dialogue, are now greeted with the incoherent rantings of a perpetually-furious man-child.
