Hegseth just stated the so-called Department of War will plan for “maximum lethality, not tepid legality”.
No American wants this.
It is the sick and twisted agenda of this totalitarian regime, backed by billionaires, Russia, and Israel.

FEMA is using our taxes—intended for disaster relief—to build concentration camps.
While they shift focus towards creating “more facilities like Florida’s ‘Alligator Alcatraz,’” they’re failing to support Texas and are intentionally withholding critical relief from states with Democratic governors.

Just awful: A 75-year-old man just died in ICE custody, ICE has revealed in a notice to Congress.
But here's the rub: This man, a Cuban national, was first paroled into the US in 1966—nearly 60 years ago! They were set to deport him anyway.
