Anyone still quibbling that this isn't fascism?
The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens.
Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".

I believe this is BORTAC, the Border Patrol's equivalent of SWAT. The guy who eventually shot the Uvalde killer was part of BORTAC. They're trained operators.
There is literally no justification to use BORTAC to round up day laborers. None. Zero. Zip. Nada.
