I.C.E. agents, especially the hordes of them invading Minnesota, remind me of Hitler’s SS rounding up Jews for deportation. The S.S., aided by the Gestapo, had the job of arresting Jews and handing them over to Einsatzgruppen for immediate execution or loading them up for deportation to the SS camps. 

The SS used race, political orientation, and religion as criteria to determine who would fit into authentically German society and who had to be expelled. Countries where the local police did not help the SS to arrest the Jews faced overwhelming pressure from the Nazi regime.

I.C.E. has not gone so far, but it is well on its way towards the SS ideal. Facial complexion determines who they will snatch, and critics of the Trump regime who express their criticism in public are “dangerous rioters” whose rights as American citizens can be ignored. States that choose not to help I.C.E. are to be denied funding until they come around to the regime’s policy.

And the Trumpification of the United States has only begun.
