In the concentration camp universe, this is what's known as a filtration camp. A government preemptively takes a whole class of people to interrogate and detain extrajudicially in order to inflict duress on them while arbitrarily assessing their (supposed) culpability.

Cmon now guys. If any Dem says anything besides shut down until this is all gone then there's no need for federal government at all. These are concentration camps. If you're too scared to say so then you're part of the problem.

This would seem to effectively expand the category of people ICE can arrest without a warrant to “people not currently under arrest”

ICE has long interpreted that standard to mean situations in which agents believe someone is a "flight risk," and unlikely to comply with future immigration obligations like appearing for hearings, according to the memo. But Mr. Lyons criticized that construction as "unreasoned" and
"incorrect," changing the agency's interpretation of it to instead mean situations in which agents believe someone is unlikely to remain at the scene.
"An alien is 'likely to escape' if an immigration officer determines he or she is unlikely to be located at the scene of the encounter or another clearly identifiable location once an administrative warrant is obtained," Mr. Lyons wrote.
The Times shared a description of the memo's contents with several former senior ICE officials from the Biden administration. Claire Trickler-McNulty, a former senior adviser at ICE, called the new definition "an extremely broad interpretation of the term 'escape?"
"It would cover essentially anyone they want to arrest without a warrant, making

If a non-citizen neighbor gets kidnapped by ICE, you supposedly have about 4-5 hours to file a habeas petition in Minnesota to prevent ICE from shipping people to Texas. They are moving people that quickly regardless of whether or not they have legal status.

The fact that the State Department is planning to open an Office of Remigration didn't get even anywhere close to the attention it deserved. Remigration is explicitly a European far-right/neo-Nazi word that in Europe refers quite explicitly to ethnic cleansing beyond simply immigration enforcement.

Okay folks: we need to protect the idea of masking. The problem with ICE etc and their gaiters isn’t that they are masked per se. It’s that they are anonymous and unaccountable. No names, rarely badges, no uniforms, often not identifying what agency they are with. Not showing warrants. 🧵

This is what Roberts wrought. Trump is immune from criminal liability, and can preemptively pardon anyone below him. Local DAs can't charge federal actors in state court, and SCOTUS has shrouded all of them with immunity from civil liability. They can target anyone they dislike with with impunity.

Abolishing ICE means abolishing deportation as a government function. Like abolishing the death penalty. That would mean no governmental agency or officer could deport anyone, ever. If that makes you uneasy, think about why you feel that way.

the hong kong protestors used the phrase "do not split" to mean that the radical protest and peaceful protest arms of the movement should refuse to criticize each other.

Yet if the movement is leaderless and anarchic, it isn't chaotic. It has guiding principles that allow participants to self- regulate even as the movement constantly reinvents itself. Among those principles is ("do not split"). Protesters use the expression to say that no one in the movement should condemn or obstruct the actions of fellow protesters they disagree with. People who oppose a given action should sit it out, but not try to prevent it.

The use of force, in particular, is a divisive issue. Some insist on the necessity of keeping the protests peaceful, so that they will seem morally legitimate and may gain sympathy from the broader public. Others — especially younger protesters or protesters who consider that the lengthy sit-ins of the Umbrella Movement failed — believe that some measure of force has become necessary; otherwise, the government will simply ignore them.

The “do not split” idea acts as a bridge between these two factions by promoting mutual respect for diverging views within the protest movement.
