5. Mass graves

I know of no instances in history where what is happening in the US right now has happened somewhere and they did not eventually find mass graves.

You've got a secret police force who was given powers without check and they answer to only the dictator. You've got a group of people who leaders have dehumanized and told this secret police force are evil and the cause of all of the country's woes. You've got hundreds of thousands of this group being hauled away in secret with no oversight to their conditions.

Mass graves are inevitable and they probably already exist. There's ample financial incentive for them too. These holding facilities are getting paid by the head for throughput. It's costly and time consuming to process these prisoners, digging holes is cheaper and more profitable.
