Yes, the ICE detentions in the USA are intended to create #StateTerror for citizens, too.

[Ab]Using the #budget - #reconciliation process, #Republican *lawmakers* are now preparing to lavish #ICE with a colossal #funding increase—enough to pay for the kind of #social & #demographic transformation of the US that #immigration hard-liners have long fantasized about achieving.
#Trump’s tactics have spread #fear & created a showreel of social-media-ready highlights for the White House. But they have not brought #ICE much closer to delivering the “millions” of deportations…Trump has set as a goal.
“We need more money,” #TomHoman, Trump’s “border czar,” told Miroff in an interview. “We won’t fail if we get the resources we need.”
We’re About to Find Out What #MassDeportation Really Looks Like
The #Trump admin’s campaign to remove millions of people from the #US could soon be supercharged by #Congress.

"The leader principle, or in German Führerprinzip, is the idea that a single individual directly represents the people, and that therefore all of his actions are by definition legal and proper. In discussions in the #White /House and thereafter, we see this notion being advanced.
[...]
To a very sad degree, Supreme Court justices and members of Congress are already complicit in this experiment in #StateTerror."
The #Trump admin continues spreading #disinformation & #lies about #KilmarAbregoGarcia.
Here is an example that illustrates #TimothySnyder’s point about language & dehumanization perfectly from the official social media account of the #UnitedStates Department of Homeland Security:
Only in #solidarity do we affirm #law
"If citizens endorse the idea that people named by authorities as "criminals" or "terrorists" have no right to due process, then they are accepting that they themselves have no right to due process. It is #dueProcess, and due process alone, that allows you to demonstrate that you are a #citizen. Without it, the masked men in the black vans can simply claim that you are a foreign terrorist & disappear you"

#StateTerror
A brief guide for Americans
Yesterday the president defied a #SCOTUS ruling to return a man who was mistakenly sent to a gulag in another country, celebrated the suffering of this innocent person, & spoke of sending Americans to foreign #ConcentrationCamps.
This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, & it has to be identified as such to be stopped.

This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped“….
… „In the history of state terror, the escape from law into coercion takes three forms, all of which were on display, incipiently, in the White House yesterday: the leader principle; the state of exception; and the zone of statelessness.“…

So let’s begin with language, because language is very important."

#Israel is killing journalists systematically. Just like children, they are not #collateral.
Remove the witnesses.
#Disarm Israel now.
