They know their policies are deeply unpopular. That's why they're committed to preventing us from knowing what they are doing.

In the 2024 campaign, the actual estimate of undocumented people in the US, ~11M, was asserted as 25-30M by FOTUS.
Eliminating due process to round up & ship out millions of innocent people, citizens or not, to miserable fates, is how they try to fulfill the lie they told to justify the act.

ICE officers are now reportedly required to meet arrest quotas each day, from a few hundred to between 1,200 and 1,500 nationwide. Jonathan Blitzer reports on the mystery of the agency’s unidentifiable arrests.
The Mystery of ICE’s Unidentifiable Arrests
In early March, the agency announced that it had arrested forty-eight people in New Mexico—a month later, their identities and whereabouts remain unknown.

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

WOW. One of the Venezuelans whom Kristi Noem tried to render to El Salvador's slave prison managed to avoid removal and was able to make it to immigration court, and you'll never guess what happened: THE GOVERNMENT GAVE NO EVIDENCE OF HIS GANG MEMBERSHIP. Due process ftw

I also want to be clear on this point: History also shows that the Liberals were very willing to throw away the Left as sacrificial meat to the fascist, in the hopes it would protect the liberals. It did not, in fact, protect the liberals. So if liberals wants to beat fascism, they need the left
But what is the one thing history shows us that we need if we want to beat fascism?: A united Popular Front of the left, liberal, and center (and the disaffected conservatives).
A divided front in Germany in the 30s is what let Hitler gain so much power. Lets not repeat those mistakes
