It amazes me how many reports still speak about him as if he was even vaguely normal for a politician adhering to some level of democracy… He stated clearly he’d be a dictator prior to being re-elected and that’s exactly how he’s been behaving!

There’s also a lot of people dying in ice detention; and a crazy amount of reported sexual abuse and other human rights violations. We can’t sweep this shit under the rug; we have to pack our prisons with the goons and thugs that carried these actions out; which will be great news for the private prison companies that use all their inmates for slave labor

Even when detainees overcame these obstacles and succeeded in winning court orders for their release, ICE has frequently delayed execution of the orders or outright defied them, deliberately prolonging detentions in an effort to coerce immigrants into “self-deporting.” In Minnesota, where ICE and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) carried out mass repression of immigrants’ rights protests, including the murder of Renée Nicole Good and Alex Pretti, Federal District Judge Patrick Schiltz, an appointee of Republican President George W. Bush, catalogued 90 court orders that ICE was defying.

We’re at the phase of the game where the judiciary is shown to have no teeth, and soon will only exist to rubber stamp the administration’s cruelty.
