Emboldened by Trump and the feckless Democrats, immigration police around the United States are operating with lawless impunity as they carry out their fascist deportation operations. In states governed by Republicans and Democrats alike, federal agents under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)—including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) thugs and their accomplices in Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI)—are arresting parents, children and even local officials without cause, a warrant or due process.

Every day on social media, videos are shared showing horrifying images of heavily armed and masked thugs ripping families apart and handcuffing and disappearing them into unmarked vehicles. The detained are trapped in a network of for-profit prisons for weeks, if not months on end, before being exiled to a “home” country—which could range from an El Salvadoran mega prison, to a Libyan dungeon, or a country the person has not been to in years or has no memory of, because they came to the United States as infants and grew up here.

Unable to carry out “mass deportations” with the current forces at his disposal, Trump ordered DHS Friday to hire 20,000 additional agents. Seeking to deport 1 million people by the end of the year, the Trump administration is enlisting state police to assist in the operations.
