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.

Dunno, I've seen quite a few Spanish second names on that site people link here in comments.
I'd say it's going to be a problem for everyone, but not like Kristallnacht. That was, a reminder, SA public action, rather artistic, in line with the Nazi official policy. A show.
Though one can say today's elites love a good show too, I won't repeat again that thing about impression economy I've read about from Cory Doctorow, I think. I think in line with that some Nazi approaches are possible. That's what they did with Gaza and Alawites in Syria (no way this was without Israel's and US and EU approval, just no way).
But - impressions also were a big thing then. Radio just became popular. Olympic games. Automobiles gaining popularity. Airships. Electric lighting. Radiola, pianola, such various automatons using radio and punchcards. Tabulating machines that Nazis used for their population census.
That wasn't just goons given right to do whatever (they were in Nazi Germany too, but that was small stuff - once a few dozen times someone failed to say "Sieg Heil" they might have been beaten or even killed by a Nazi, and in general Nazis were openly against any kind of due process, - all that "fanatisch, total und radikal" stuff about just vibing through grotesque cruelty and aggression, they were LARPing a tribe, after all, - so acts of random cruelty were normal).
So yes, the time is similar in some way. But when thinking that, let's also remember that in the 30s many people would think Hitler is the future in Britain and in USA, and in east Asia that old impression still holds.
The steel monsters that broke this one's back were too not nice, but they did the job and learned some of the lessons.
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.
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!
...they are paying bounties on extra-judicial arrests...
bounties.
for arrest without trial.
...barring decisive impeachment and conviction in eighteen months, there is no way this doesn't end in blood and fire...
But but the Epstein files bro just wait for you'll see everyone will confirm for sure again that he's a rapist and we'll defeat facism bro don't forget the Epstein files trust me bro
This is how they will do their kristelnacht (day of the rope)
They are gathering data on all of us
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
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.

Might be unwise to frighten them before you have something to substantiate that fear with, they have weapons and an organization.
Cause frightening them without such basis is how you accelerate fascism. They would want to just enjoy their newly gotten power and - for the top - stolen money, but fear compels them to also press against threats to that.
Like after Bolotnaya protests in Moscow the Russian regime started doing various crap with increased tempo. They might not even have attacked Ukraine without it.
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.
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.
The GOP-dominated US federal government continues its malevolent efforts to Make America Grotesque AF
...give it some time, and it'll be death squad. Just plain killing people, cheaper than sending them away.
No wonder they went so hard against antifascist early on...
