    Federal stormtroopers invading cities to grab every Hispanic person they see and figure out who to arrest/deport later. Really every minority who doesn’t have a government ID physically on them when stopped and questioned.

    Raids of entire neighborhoods. Forcibly and likely at night while everyone is sleeping for “officer safety.” The child separation policy could also be in effect, ripping families apart as they are hauled away separately in police buses to overcrowded concentration camps with little food, clean water, and medical care.

    The Christian candidate is being pretty antisancuary.

    Reminds me of the story of how Jesus ordered the Roman military to attack -his- scapegoats!

      You silly billy, didn’t you hear? Trump is the second coming of Jesus! He can do whatever he wants!

      (Only h/j, because some of his followers actually think this.)

    Reminder to all federal forces:

    https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=(title:5 section:3331

    You swore an oath to defend the constitution against domestic enemies. Between Agent Orange over here constantly calling to attack some part of our country and literally carrying out an insurrection, vs the undocumented Latino dude selling badass street food out of his corner food truck… which do you think poses the greater threat to our constitution?

      The title is misleading. He said he’d use federal law enforcement. This is an important distinction because the military is very serious about their oath. Cops aren’t though and already showed they would be willing to serve him directly during the BLM protests.

      The tamale lady is like the perfect example of what we were taught about the idealized USA and immigration as kids.

      They fuck with the tamale lady and they have no idea the hell they’ll unleash.

    “As soon as I take office, we will immediately surge federal law enforcement to every city that is failing, which is a lot of them,” he continued. “To turn over criminal aliens, and we will hunt down, capture every single gang member, drug dealer, rapist, murderer, and migrant criminal that is being illegally harbored.

    “I will ask Congress to pass a law outlawing sanctuary cities nationwide, and we demand the full weight of the federal government on any jurisdiction that refuses to cooperate with [Immigration and Customs Enforcement],” Trump added.

    Title is misleading. He mentioned federal law enforcement specifically because when he tried to use the military in 2020 they told him to fuck off. It is certainly possible to make a force out of cops that’s a distinction without a difference to the people being taken but the distinction is very important because if the military does go for Trump then the course back to democracy becomes very bloody. A bunch of cops are much more like bullies, liable to stand down in the face of local ire.

    How would this look in actuality? Like I hear what he’s saying, but how does it actually look if he somehow did it? Are we talking like tanks rolling into houston? Is it like open war in the streets? Are they going to start gunning down police officers?
