Disaster in the making? It's already a fucking disaster. ICE agents have been granted additional slack above and beyond that already extended to normal cops, who frequently abuse it. This is going to be a fucking American Kristallnacht for Latinos, with more groups set to follow in the wake of these broad constitutional and legal abuses.

it's true that our current situation is a disaster. it does not diminish the fact that an even bigger disaster is being constructed while we process and attempt to repair this disaster. the old ice agents are bad, evil, and cruel, but they were also all recruited under a different framing of what ICE is supposed to be. the new ones will have absolutely no compunctions, no reservations, and no hesitations.

Yup, combined with the EO from Friday allowing for involuntary civil commitment, more and more people outside latinos are going to start disappearing. I'm just waiting for them to consider having liberal views a mental disorder.
They are going to go after trans people.
Is anyone going to do anything when we start being committed?
Short of hijacking a bulldozer and driving it through the exterior walls of these detention centers at risk of getting myself killed, I legit don't know what to do with anything at this point.

Please, don't wait, tell everyone you know IRL who's in that position to make 'arrangements for travel out of country'.
My options are driving either straight south or north and trying to sneak across the border. We aren’t recognized as qualifying for refugee status, I’ve been applying for jobs but I don’t know if I’ll be able to get anything, I don’t know how I would afford to move.

We are going to see some real Abu Graib type shit in no time at all with the culture of abuse and rushed training. But will any of the immovable 40% who voted for this start to question our embrace of cruelty on a national level? Meh...Look at the baubles!

This total includes $45 billion to create a sprawling detention system (nearly five times the annual budget for the Bureau of Prisons)
Now why would they need such a big budget for concentration camps if they're deporting the illegal immigrants? Seems like a big waste to build all those facilities and have them sit empty after the job is done.
Or is it more likely they're going to start rounding up other people too? Trump just announced they're going to go after homeless and mentally ill people. And we know they consider trans people to be a danger to themselves and gay/bi as deviants. We've also seen a rise on attacks against political opponents. Trump even wants to charge Obama with treason.
This is exactly the Nazi playbook from the 30s. And the American public is letting him do it.
For comparison, the Trump Admin just approved a 5000 bed tent camp at Fort Bliss in El Paso, TX. The contract was awarded to Acquisition Logistics for $1.26B.
That's $252k per bed. There's easily enough money there to build single family homes for every one of them, and even that would be wasteful. (And yes, even in high cost of living areas, the sheer scale involved would almost certainly bring costs below that number).
When we say "the cruelty is the point", this is why. There's a lack of other explanations for their actions.
To not be American and watch this all unfold truly shows us what Americans are all about. Around the globe we've listened for a long time about how dominant they are in everything but when it comes to standing up for themselves and their fellow man, they sit down.
"Land of the Brave"
They are already constructing a 30,000 bed facility at Guantanamo. The EO was signed, and the $250 million contract awarded, months ago, with absolutely no peep from the media, then or since.
For context, Guantanamo currently has a capacity for up to about 250 people. The average maximum security prison in America holds around 800-1200 people. The largest prison in America is in Angola, LA, and holds about 8000.
So this new facility will hold almost 4 times as many as our biggest prison, and about 30 times more than our average prison. Guantanamo is in a remote corner of Cuba, so if they are so hot to deport all the illegals, who do they intend to house there, out of sight of the courts, their lawyers, and the media?
I suspect it will be AMERICAN political prisoners - media, opposition candidates, protest organizers, loudmouth celebrities, etc.

Funny fact about a cage, they're never built for just one group, so when the cage is done with them and you're still poor. It come for you.

That is what the army is for
Night of Broken Glass, dude
they're saying america's version will be broad daylight lynchings. he's translating not the german to english, but the nazi to maga
My bad
It’s from The Turner Diaries. If you follow Stormfront/4chan spaces, they specifically want the day of the rope. In the novel, it’s described how they hang “race traitors.”

nah no worries. it was a little subtle. i'm glad to have gotten to illuminate what i thought was a solid bit of... humor's the wrong word…
solid bit of something
Fine them. Find their families. Publish their info.
It's too bad a doxxing website for ICE would get shut down easily or the operators disappeared...
...otherwise I'd totally create it.
People should start following bros back to their operating centers then following them home. Create a catalog publicly showing their homes to the public. See how that goes for them SS officers.
When I worked for DoD. This was CBP and Other three letter groups biggest fears. Having their private lives invaded.

We know what they want to do with the money because we saw WWI and WWII; create an army directly responsive to the president to facilitate ethnic cleansing and usher in eugenics.

It's almost like Trump wants to make his own personal army that takes orders from him alone.
Bad news, they are gonna end up hiring a bunch of proud boys. Also bad news, they won’t do the job right, and we’ll pay loads of money in lawsuits and end up with far too many funerals

I wonder what measures they'll be taking to filter out a would-be saboteur? Would be really hard if the target is to hire 10k people.
Time to buy firearms and start training.
Help everyone you know purchase firearms and help them train.
Form networks.
I'm a former gun salesman, and while I don't condone pre-emptive violence, I am happy to advise people about the process of purchasing a firearm and selection of a first firearm for hunting, recreation, or self-defense.
The biggest piece of advice for a beginner on a budget is to get something affordable but reliable over something overly fancy and expensive. Put the savings on the firearm into ammo for training. A $400 Canik plus a few thousand rounds of training ammo is more effective at making you a good shooter than a $1500 pistol and a single box of ammo.
I have a $7000 custom precision rifle with a $3500 optic on top. With my years of experience, I can shoot about 1% better than with a $700 rifle/scope combo.

No wonder they went so hard against antifascist early on...
hopefully it leads to moles getting in.
I'm wondering how long until the ICE agents who drag me off are all on H1-B visas.
I wish those of us who stood on "moral righteousness" when voting (in this case not voting) had enough brain power to think about the genocide they helped to trigger back home.

American SS
Or just
