    The Venezuelan “terrorist” gang is just a test balloon. They’re seeing if they can get away with rounding up people and deporting them with zero due process.

    If they get away with it, they’ll eventually designate a Mexican cartel as “terrorists” under the same law and use it to arrest and deport anyone of Mexican origin that they want. The same for every other non-white majority country.

    These people are openly Nazis. They’re doing Nazi shit right in front of everyone and getting away with it. The Supreme Court could stop it, but will they? And if they do, will their orders be enforced?

    The cruelty is the point. ‘‘We can’t make it illegal to be Black but we can pass a drug schedule and go after them night after night on the evening news’’ - how Nixon did racist messaging

      It’s super believable. They never cared; Nixon was a crook.
