The people joining ICE are not the types of people that get student loan debt or have sex with a willing partner.

Hmm. This point is kind of comforting. Though I fear there are more educated racists than we think…

There’s a lot of those but not that many want to give up their current job/career to go around terrorizing seamstresses and day laborers.

A good thing to be afraid of

One of the few bits of good news I've seen in the last couple pf years is that the Trump regime is having a hard time finding willing agents for their gestapo.

Have you seen the people at trump rallies? They'd have a heart attack trying to chase the first person down. Plus I'd bet the vast majority want someone else to do the dirty work.

Let’s remind those teenagers they’ll be eventually doxxed and have to deal with the public knowing they are class traitors as well if they join up

Anyone know if Hitler offered perks to the Gestapo?

Classic cult abuser tactic. Behave as if you are the only solution to the problem. Broke? Sign up to deport brown people and we'll give you debt relief.

Not too different from the military.

That's socialism because it's immediate and not based on service. And we already have a system in place for this and it's based on a 10 year civil service but it's being blocked by Trump. This is more socialist than what Biden was doing.
