A sincere but ignorant question – do members of National Guard units even have arrest powers?

I think dime-store Eichmann covered that with "We will deputize them as immigration enforcement officers."

How sadly ironic it would be if the asshole that actually incited an insurrection would mis-use the Insurrection Act to further his unconstitutional policies.

“large-scale staging grounds near the border, most likely in Texas,”

Will Texas Governor Mr. Texas Governor be happy about Trump sending "15 to 20 million" brown-skinned American residents to Texas?

Trivially off-topic, and maybe my memory fogs, but "Stück" means "piece," not "stick," even though they are etymologically related.

I don't care how ideologically pure and passionate these people think they are, this shit doesn't just happen because you really, really want it to.

Add to that all the grift as everyone involved tries to skim a few points off the top for themselves, and you've got the typical Trump clusterfuck.

Portland here. We had a dose of tfg sending the Feds into our city back in the Summer of 2020. They committed war crimes. The mainstream media both-sidesed their way into making it look understandable for riot-gear clad "contractors" to gas, beat, and shoot people exercising their 1st Amendment rights- including old people, vets, moms, kids and anyone in the vicinity. No-one stood up for us. They won't stand up for you when it is YOUR city, either. Four years later, everyone I know is still suffering from the effects. Trust me, you do not want this to happen where you live.

I mean, this is an awful idea, honestly, but I don't think they're thinking things through.... like our 'economy' would really take a hit. Sorry, that's just the ADHD in my brain bringing up article from Orange dude's first(and 🤞only) term in office. Apparently, L.A. would grind to a halt. I live on the east coast and I think there'd be too many open jobs if that Orange man and Miller attempted to do this.

Miller always struck me as the asshole college sophomore type getting high in the dorm room telling everybody what he'd do to fix everything if he was in charge.

There's a history of mass population transfers like these.

Basically you need to use Stalin tactics.

TV’s on around here for noise during the day. Will swear that I heard mention earlier today that this Miller brainstormtrooper plan would eventually hoover up Cheeto’s ideological foes, as well. Guess I might as well unload my garden tools at the spring cmty yard sale. Apparently, self-hating Jews make very efficient Nazis.

" ... Apparently, self-hating Jews make very efficient Nazis. "

That's a stupid and vile comment on more levels than the number of words in that sentence.

I hope Stephen Miller dies after a long and futile life, of natural causes, hopefully in a federal prison, alone and forgotten, except for the shitstain he left on history.

Regardless of how long that takes, this world is going to be a much, much better place without him in it.

That’s fine, let your conscience be your guide. He is responsible for the deaths of children and the destruction of innocent families. He would obviously continue to commit crimes against humanity if allowed to. To me he is no better than Goebbels or Gebhardt and I hope that the justice he deserves finds him.

The more likely scenario with this crotch-sniffer is that of Kissinger.........fuck stains like this live a charmed existence for some reason......Miller's back story must be something like, 'He had a crush on a cute girl at Santa Monica High and she ended up dating a Hispanic guy'...... it's gotta be something as simple as that. His own relatives have dis-owned this guy, saying "WHAT IN THE EVER-LIVIN' FUCK HAPPENED TO YOU ASSHAT?"

Hey all you first- and second-generation CITIZEN immigrants, with families and friends and coworkers who may be a little bit undocumented, or may just LOOK a bit questionable: While last time around many of you voted for the tough-talking orange guy, because “reasons,” maybe this time you could think of your families and friends and coworkers who might be in those cattle cars.

That we even have to mention that is an indictment the political morals (or the lack thereof) of this country.

"First you deploy ICE agents, supplemented by red-state Guard members as needed, to “go around the country arresting illegal immigrants in large-scale raids.”"

Don't forget that they would need to go around in unmarked vans.

Since they'll already be rounded up in border camps, why not employ them while in internment and their forced labor can pay for the whole scheme!
