See, this — •this• — is what ICE CBP are actually for under this regime. •This• is why they got a budget the size of Russia’s entire military.
It’s nothing to do with immigration. It’s about the would-be dictator having his own private military that:
- can be deployed domestically
- at will
- unbeholden to the UCMJ etc
- or disciplined military culture
- or any accountability whatsoever
- with unpredictably violent behavior
- applied indiscriminately
- to anyone
- so that the entire population is terrified of it
…because for them, the problem with Jan 6 was that the coup wasn’t violent enough and didn’t have enough weapons.

I do have to question whether all people's of the Nisga’a Nation are fully aware of and/or still supportive of being in co-ownership with a fascist Republican owned gas pipeline in NWBC.
“In 2024, the project was sold to the Nisga’a Nation in northwestern B.C. and the Texas-based Western LNG. Among the biggest of the project’s investors is Blackstone Inc., led by CEO and chairman Steve Schwarzman, a friend and advisor to U.S. President Donald Trump, and one of the Republican Party’s top 10 donors.”
