The classic sign of a smart authoritarian is identifying a small and vulnerable minority and then making them the scapegoats for everything wrong with society. For the Trump administration, the scapegoats are immigrants, who are blamed for everything from spreading disease to high gas prices.
If you buy into that, it’s only logical that law enforcement’s number one priority must be getting ir of them as quickly as possible by any means necessary. This is exactly what’s been happening, with ICE setting a quota of 3,000 arrests per day, and Trump ordering military interventions into Democrat-controlled cities so his masked goons can round up and imprison anyone they don’t like the look of.
