What is being planned:
"[To] ederalize state national guard personnel and deploy them for immigration enforcement, including sending troops from friendly Republican-governed states into neighboring states with governors who decline to participate."

"Using the military domestically — absent any crisis remotely needed to prompt or justify such a move — would break with centuries of practice in the United States, giving a President who has promised to deploy troops against the 'enemy from within' the most powerful, and potentially unconstrained, tool in the federal arsenal."

"Trump’s immigration crackdown is all but certain to go beyond mass deportations. The president-elect has made clear that he intends to tear down the country’s immigration system as we know it, by ending birthright citizenship, reviving the 'Muslim Ban,' and rolling back refugee resettlement."

"Even 'documented' immigrants will not be safe, because Miller has declared that he will pursue the seldom-used process of 'denaturalization' to go after people who have been citizens for years or decades, based on suspicions about purported fraud on their naturalization applications. Individuals stripped of citizenship will then be subject to deportation along with Miller’s other targets."

@wdlindsy is he going to look at Elon's papers and the reported illegal work he did while being on a student visa?

"Mr. Homan told The New York Times in 2023 that he had met with Mr. Trump shortly after the now president-elect announced that he would seek office again. During that meeting, Mr. Homan said, he 'agreed to come back' in a second term and would 'help to organize and run the largest deportation operation this country’s ever seen.'”

@wdlindsy We shouldn't fixate so hard on the mass deportations that we forget all the other things he'll do with his "emergency" powers.

@wdlindsy that all sounds like that if they get their say, a lot of Americans (those who are not millionaires) will feel a hard economic hit .
Maybe in 4 years time, people will finally be more smart in the elections then ... -
@gooba42 Oh, I think fixating on the mass deportations is a very good thing to do. The cruelty that is being ushered in with the plan to start those the very first day he takes office, with the military at his disposal: what an opening script for dehumanization, violence, cruelty that will affect every one of us.
-
@wdlindsy What if they turn their guns around? Just a thought, many in the military hate him. Afterall, he called them sucker's and losers, then he defiled their sacred ground, Arlington.

TBH...
Given the number of Chump voters that will find themselves "surprised" to be in these crosshairs, I unfortunately find myself in the position of not being able to work up sympathy for them.
Many were duped.
Some voted Chump anyway cause "it won't affect me".
Guess what? Surprise!!

@lupus_blackfur I find myself adopting a very cold-eyed, clear-headed, sympathy-free approach, too, as I prepare for the almost unfathomable cruelty I expect to be unleashed on all of us due to the horrific choices some of us have made.

@luv_wins I think once a society walks down the path of using its military to police and do violence to its citizens and targeted minority communities, violence will always proliferate, unfortunately.

@supergrobi I honestly don't know how one makes a large chunk of the population smarter, though, when it doesn't want to be smarter. I think especially of the white evangelicals who form the solid base of Trump's power, and who do not vote on the basis of information but on the basis of cultic religious ideas impervious to information.
