Now that Donald Trump’s tariff has been stopped, his beautiful big bill has been strengthened, and his professional openness in the field of technology has turned to him, how does his strength appear?
On Friday morning, federal agents from the Immigration and Customs application (ICE), the Ministry of Internal Security (DHS), the FBI, and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) I am Rissions via Los Angeles – Including two Home warehouses and Wholesale clothing dealer – In search of workers who are Suspected Being immigrants are not documented.
Despite the different numbers, it was arrested 121 people.
They met the demonstrators who chanted eggs and threw the eggs before they were worn by the police in riot equipment, carrying shields, using the rabies, rifles that fire pepper balls, rubber bullets, tears, and flash bombs.
On Saturday, Trump escalated the confrontations, and he commanded at least 2000 National Guard soldiers to be deployed in Los Angeles A boycott to help suppress protests.
He said that any demonstration that hinders immigration officials will be considered a “form of rebellion.” Stephen Miller, the White House Vice President, described the protests.Rebellion“.
On Saturday evening, the Minister of Defense threatened the Higseth Beit, to deploy the active naval infantry, Saying“The attacks on violent mobs on ice and federal law enforcement are designed to prevent the removal of illegal foreigners from the soil. A serious invasion that crime gangs facilitate (also known as foreign terrorist organizations) and huge risks of national security. During the era of President Trump, violence and destruction against federal agents, will not be tolerated.”
We are witnessing the early stages of the Trump police state.
Last week, raids in San Diego, in Martha Fenard In Berkshire He led to approvals, as passers -by faced the anger of federal agents who were taking workers in the reservation.
Dragnet also includes federal courts. ICE officers fill in courtrooms throughout the United States and immediately arrested people – including immigrants who judges have rejected their cases.
History shows that once an authoritarian ruler created Police infrastructure, the same infrastructure can be run on anyone.
Trump and his system quickly create such an infrastructure, in five steps:
(1) Declaration of the state of emergency on the basis of the so -called “rebellion”, “rebellion” or “invasion”;
(2) Using these “emergencies” to justify the federal agents with the monopoly of the use of power (ICE, FBI, DeA and the National Guard) against civilians inside the country;
(3) Allowing these military agents to conduct kidnappings for wound and unjustified arrests, and to detain persons without legal procedures;
(4) Create additional camps for imprisonment and detention for those detainees, and
(5) In the end, with the escalation of the situation, declared martial law.
We are not in customary rulings until now, praise be to God. But once in place, the police infrastructure can build on itself.
Those who are granted power on aspects of it – the internal militia, the wound, the detention camps, and the presence of the fighting – seek other opportunities to summon their authority.
Since civil control gives way to military control, the nation is divided into those who are most vulnerable to it and those who support it. The dictatorship entrenches itself by provoking fear and anger on both sides.
At the present time, the senior fortresses against the police state in Trump are the federal courts and peaceful protests on a large scale-such as those that many of us will participate next Saturday, June 14, on No kings on the day of work.
It is necessary to remain peacefully, we prove our intention to combat this tyranny, but we do this in a non -violent way, and to inform America of the emerging infrastructure of the police in Trump and the importance of its resistance.
These are frightening and frustrating times. But remember: Although it takes one of the tyranny to create a police state, it only requires 3.5 % From the population to be watered and ended.
