It is true that no one has grasped this scope.

But there are ways to deal with it.

First, track the way that Kristi Noem is converting it to personal grift, like her propaganda campaign.

Next, illustrate how this is a funding shift, from things Americans like to body snatching they hate.
The news has entirely failed to grasp the unprecedented scope of the ICE and DHS budgets. Nothing like it in modern history. A galaxy of public/private surveillance and caging institutions for $100,000,000,000s unleashed on a public that will be forever changed. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...
ICE Wants to Go After Dissenters as well as Immigrants
The Trump administration is being open about its plans to violate Americans’ First and Fourth Amendment rights.

MARK TWAIN WAS BORN ON THIS DAY, 1835

“Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail. It won't fatten the dog.” - Mark Twain
