In understanding the current administration's draconian deportation policies, nothing makes sense except in the light of white supremacy.
The underlying animating force of these policies, openly stated by Tom Homan during a white house press conference, is "the great replacement theory". Propagated by white nationalist, white supremacist fascists, operating in and out of government, it's a lie that has resulted in depraved acts of racist and antisemitic violence (See Southern Poverty Law Center link below).
Sadly, the DHS, ICE, and other federal agencies have become something resembling the American gestapo, attempting to reduce the number of non-whites in this country, to retain power in perpetuity.
In furtherance of these policies, they are arresting judges, conducting warrantless searches of homes and businesses, and even raiding US congressional offices and detaining staffers, again without warrants. They are threatening prison for even speaking out against these actions.
In Part 2 of our collaboration with the Truth Be Found Podcast, we talk about the terrifying erosion of our civil rights and the racist rhetoric underpinning the worst actions of our government.
