As immigration agents take a more aggressive approach, they have stopped and in some cases detained American citizens.

Between signup bonuses (possibly tied to performance), per head bounties and KPIs, you get perverse incentives.

ICE is doing exactly what it's supposed to: terrorise Americans into obedience.

How are you supposed to obey when the "crime" is having the wrong skin color?

[–] TheGoldenV@lemmy.world 7 points 6 hours ago

That’s the trick, there’s no right answer.

Cities should start deputizing civilians en masse to monitor ICE and arrest them if they try to kidnap US citizens / legal immigrants and charge them accordingly

Form a lawful militia first so it's constitutionally protected.

Without due process we may never know. If they can choose to skip it for anyone they choose to by deciding they are the type it can be skipped for.

Abolish ice. Maybe, just maybe, we should treat people as people? Citizen, immigrant, asylum seekers, you know…. People?

There's a reason the 4th amendment talks about the rights of people, not the rights of citizens.

I'm not sure which part of the Nazi regime ICE represents, but it certainly fits.

[–] TheFrogThatFlies@lemmy.world 8 points 14 hours ago (3 children)

Not so good with history, anyone knows if there is any information about Nazis also sending political enemies to gas chambers, besides the Jews?

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

They went after trans, gays, the disabled, Roma, trade unionists and Communists. It wasn't just the Jews.

[–] Tonava@sopuli.xyz 1 points 48 minutes ago

It's much worse than people seem to think these days, especially considering the disabled. I don't know any words that convey how much I loathe nazis and people who have any sympathy for them

Parents were told that their children were being sent to "Special Sections", where they would receive improved treatment.[59] The children sent to these centres were kept for "assessment" for a few weeks and then killed by injection of toxic chemicals, typically phenol; their deaths were recorded as "pneumonia".

Communists and anti-Hitler politicians were some of the first to be rounded up. That's the first line of the poem First They Came by Martin Niemöller.

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

It's inefficient to gas prisoners who can be worked to death, or shot in order to incentivize others to work to death. The linked article doesn't specify whether the prisoners sent from Dachau to the "euthanasia center" at Linz included political prisoners, but you can be sure there were many among the murdered.
