Precedented, but not the same:
If ICE and CBP are basically the reincarnation of the KKK, it’s the KKK with a budget the size of Russia’s entire military.
Literally. In the literal sense of “literally.” The incoming ICE CBP budget is ~$140 billion.[1] Russia’s military budget is ~$145 billion.[2]
(If I’m misreading these numbers, please correct me.)

Immigration has been a centerpiece of Trump’s platform throughout more than a decade of political life,
-- and was at the core of his 2024 election campaign.
But polls show public opinion has shifted amid the widely circulated operations carried out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and other federal agents in urban areas.
Those operations have this month seen the shooting deaths of two US citizens in Minneapolis.

ICE on US streets challenges American norms, founding values
The Trump administration has moved ICE's center of activity from the US border with Mexico to the heart of US cities. Federal agents' encounters with the public are challenging the foundational ideas of America.

Donald Trump on Saturday appeared to link the massive attack he ordered against Iran to his persistent claims about his 2020 election loss to former president Joe Biden, in a social media post about allegations that Tehran’s government interfered in the US president elections.
“Iran tried to interfere in 2020, 2024 elections to stop Trump,” his Truth Social post said, “and now faces renewed war with United States”.

Arkansas RB Mike Washington Jr. sheds tears after 4.33 40 at NFL combine https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7077890/2026/02/28/nfl-combine-mike-washington-40-time/

As Emily Waldorf languished in an Arkansas hospital,
she felt like “a ticking time bomb”.
It was 2024, and the physical therapist was in the midst of miscarrying a much-wanted pregnancy.

Instead, Waldorf had to wait and hope that she didn’t develop a deadly infection.

Worldwide, sales of new cars with a fossil fuel combustion engine dropped to the level of 2004, by 2024. And sales of new cars that use fossil fuels (100% or partially, in hybrids) dropped to the level of 2012. EVs are on the march.
