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.

The “illegal alien” part was never about immigration itself. It was about the racist idea that some people are inherently foreigners, never able to integrate with the superior race.
The Nazis said this about Jews. They took our citizenship away as well.
It is not just racist, it is genocidal.

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".
Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.

Stephen Miller isn't the only White House or DHS political appointee with a financial stake in Palantir. Over a dozen others hold stock in the company, although most hold less than $15K. An exception is Miller's aide Kara Frederick, who has $50K-$100K in Palantir

As I have argued for months: The person calling the shots in this admin was never Musk or Bannon or Susie Wiles. It's always been Shadow President Stephen Miller. Anything Trump says on e.g. immigration is cheap talk; Miller is the decider.

Stephen Miller’s Fingerprints Are on Everything in Trump’s Second Term
The president ’s deputy chief of staff has played an outsize role in immigration—and amassed more power than almost anyone else at the White House.

If Kristi Noem cannot distinguish between a U.S. Senator and a supposed “threat” because he’s Brown, she has no business holding public office. That’s not a mistake. That’s OUTRIGHT white supremacist racism. She must resign.

What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules.
It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.

These people were following the law and went to check in with immigration like they are supposed to.
This woman's immigration case was dismissed, which made her immediately undocumented.
So ICE took her into custody.
The air conditioning was off in the back of the truck.

The lesson people infuriatingly never seem to master is that there is no creating a police state just for other people. If you create a police state with no due process for immigrants or accused criminals, then that's the system you've created for yourself.

The fact that the gunman said he did it to “free Palestine” makes me nauseous. Murdering people for their nationality is never acceptable and this violence hurts Jews, Israelis, *and* Palestinians.

Here’s the thing: line officers at DHS routinely lie about stuff like this. Some studies suggest manufactured statements occur in 15-20% of cases, sometimes higher. Border Patrol is the worst offender but ICE does it too.
