It's not even hyperbolic to call them brown shirts anymore or a paramilitary loyal to the president. This is the type of death squad shit you'd hear about Dole funding in Latin America come home to roost.

it's instructive to me that these people are unlikely to think critically about how much of a paper trail exists of their crimes against humanity.
paystubs, residences, socials, etc.
in many of the pogroms and organized state terror campaigns that happened in the last 50 years, the kidnappings, disappearances, and killings lacked documentation and/or were carries out by irregular forces and contractors hidden behind corporate secrecy veils.
but federal government payrolls are pretty resiliently archived and will be at "risk" for declassifying by any administration or reconstituted government for the foreseeable future.
its a special kind of pride that never even considers the possibility that their actions today, obscured by mask and badge, could one day be exposed for all to know.
I think that they simply expect these records documenting their crime will never be used to bring them to justice. And looking at the way the world looks and where its going they are probably not likely to be wrong about that assessment.
Fred Hampton assassination
Technically that was the Chicago PD at behest of the FBI at behest of Hoover. I know, I know, "just following orders" is still hitlerite shit but it's important to understand the bureaucracy.
Minneapolis ICE taking notes from the Saskatoon Police Service with this starlight tour shit?
Why is taking a minority into the middle of unsurvivable land like the Florida everglades or anywhere near a Reservation in winter, stripping them naked, and leaving them there to die called something pretty and cute like “starlight tour” when it’s U.S. nazis doing it? Real “school of the Americas” moment.
Real fucking “teenie meanie” of us.
Insert that Sartre quote about the glibness of anti-Semites here. The lives of people you consider subhuman get treated with the respect you give people you don't believe deserve respect get. Which is to say, none. To me it's less "tee-hee we did an oopsie-poopsie" and more "your life doesn't mean shit to us and we're going to make your murder a cute little joke for the boys down at the station to laugh about".
It's hard to make a material case but given the complete obliteration of our education system combined with insane amount of debt makes a population ripe for racist scapegoating. As the economy continues to decline, I guarantee ICE's enrollment will go up.
