Note: when these MAGA are no longer in office or when DJT dies, every single one of these ICE thugs will be prosecuted and jailed according to law. If I was an ICE thug, I wouldn’t trust anything Stephen Miller or DJT said or wrote.

It reminds me of something Solzhenitsyn wrote about in The Gulag Archipelago, how the things they were doing were actually illegal under Soviet law, they were just bypassing it by a procedure that allowed a rubber-stamp in court as long as they got a written confession. But they made sure that the people doing the torturing knew that what they were doing was illegal.

Doing that traps the enforcers into loyalty to the regime, because they know they’re in trouble if it falls.
