In reply to the discussion: Trump calls for deporting natural-born US citizens [View all]Johnny2X2X
(23,696 posts)5. What will you do when they come for you?
I've been saying this for months, ICE and every method ICE is using right now under the guise of policing immigration will become standard for policing anyone Trump views as an enemy. This was always the plan, ICE is now the most powerful force in our country and they are going to treat dissidents the same way we've seen them treat immigrants. And the SCOTUS will do nothing to stop it, not will Congress.
God forbid they get ahold of DU's servers and start showing up to our houses asking questions about our posts here. They can disappear anyone.

Yes, exactly. Thousands were "disappeared". Pinochet cronies were made immensely wealthy.

Yep. Can hardly wait to see what obscure, ancient bullshit they dredge up to justify that one.
