Never ceases to devastate me how these people, who work harder every day than I ever will in my life, have to hide their faces and use fake names in these posts in order to slightly help their odds of not being kidnapped and sent to concentration camps by fascist cosplayers.

What this man is describing would seem to constitute crimes against humanity under international law. Other governments could and should contest the abuses he’s describing the U.S. government committing against migrants.
