If you had told me 20 years ago that the Gestapo would be arresting and imprisoning people in the USA without cause I would have laughed. I'm not laughing anymore. I think the purpose of these arrests is to scare the hell out of anyone considering entering the country legally or not and fuck due process.

I also think their purpose is to scare the hell out of the general populace, keep them in line. I watched the movie 'I'm still here' about the military dictatorship in Brazil the other night, and what is happening is identical to what went on during that time, people just disappeared as did this poor woman's husband. The military dictatorship in Brazil lasted 21 years - scary.

Yeh, and all of those kids that fled to Canada, but were given blanket pardon by Carter.

Maybe it’s always been a fascist country but we are noticing it more because it’s hitting closer to home.
