They're like the gestapo because they act in secret and hide their identities. They arrest dissidents because they say things the administration doesn't like. See Mahmoud Khalil. They're like the gestapo because hateful people get to just make people "illegal" at their own discretion. Half a million Haitians fleeing violence were here under temporary protected status, the executive branch is choosing to make them "illegal" and lying that Haiti is safe now.
Half a million people were legal. Now they're "illegal".

Trump wants to make Rosie O'Donnell "illegal". What are your thoughts on this?

- __loam 1y agoRight it's just morally repugnant but it's legal so who cares.
- ceejayoz 1y agoSimilarly, the Holocaust was legal under German law, because the Führer willed it so. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%BChrerprinzip https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%BChrerprinzip Thus illustrating the potential gap between legal and moral.
- saubeidl 1y agoThe Führerprinzip mentioned here, by the way, is basically the same argument the conservative supreme court is making right now. They call it Unitary executive theory in the States, but same idea.
- grumio 1y agoTrue. You bring up another data point of similarity between ICE and Gestapo: they are/were both legal. My issue isn't with just the legality, but with morality.
- const_cast 1y agoYou're correct, fascists will always make morally deplorable acts they wish to enforce with an iron fist legal. Thank you for pointing that out.
