"If you believe Trump will simply stop at pro-Palestinian students, immigrants, and dissidents, then you need to go to the library - while we still have them - and check out books on Hitler’s Germany, Stalin’s Russia, and fascism in Europe."

"The memorandum creates a military buffer zone along the border so that any migrant crossing would be trespassing on a U.S. military base. This would allow active-duty soldiers to hold migrants until ICE agents take them.

By April 20, the secretaries of defense and homeland security are supposed to report to the president whether they think he should invoke the 1807 Insurrection Act to enable him to use the military to aid in mass deportations."

"Tonight, Trump signed a memorandum to the secretaries of defense, interior, agriculture, and homeland security calling for a 'Military Mission for Sealing the Southern Border of the United States and Repelling Invasions.'"

terrifying video

#ICE (#homelandSecurity investigations) rolling up to kidnap a young woman, interrupted by her lawyer (she probably called him)

racial profiling of the lawyer's colleague- assuming she's their target

performing a "welfare check"

bullshit

that's local police's job

a plain clothed goon squad of 5 federal employees?

An honest mistake, or a way to terrorize legal immigrants?
Ukranian refugees with protected status receive DHS email telling them that it's time for them to leave the United States. DHS later says the email was sent in error.

Secret #Pentagon memo on #China, #HomelandSecurity has #HeritageFoundation fingerprints

An internal guidance memo from #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth focuses on deterring China’s seizure of #Taiwan & shoring up homeland defense. In some instances, the document is nearly a word-for-word facsimile of a report from the conservative think tank behind #Project2025.

“As then-Gov. Kristi Noem crisscrossed the country — stumping for President Donald Trump and boosting her political profile beyond her home state — she refused to reveal what her extensive travel was costing taxpayers.

In the weeks since Noem became Trump’s Homeland Security secretary, that mystery has been solved: South Dakota repeatedly picked up the tab for expenses related to her jet-setting campaigning.

An Associated Press analysis of recently released travel records found more than $150,000 in expenses tied to Noem’s political and personal activity and not South Dakota business. That included numerous trips to Palm Beach, Florida, where Trump resided before retaking office.”

“The expenses, released last month following a lawsuit by The Dakota Scout, have incensed Republicans in the deep-red state, with several GOP lawmakers accusing Noem of tapping state funds to fuel her own political ascendancy.”
