Trump's Deportation StormTroopers coming soon to an Illinois school near you on their Nationwide Tour

     There are a large number of Police Officers who are going to be put on the spot to determine if they actually believe in Law&Order or if they are willing to accept a Fascist takeover.  I don't like our odds. 

Fortunately, guidance from Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul to all Law Enforcement in the state helps protect people from the Unlawful search and seizure orders coming from the Trump White House. 

The TRUST Act prevents law enforcement officials across the state from arresting and detaining people based solely on their immigration status. 

I've already had interactions with people who rushed to tell me they believed certain people were here, in the US, "illegally".  After telling them flatly "I don't care", I pondered why individuals of displaced and mistreated ethnicity would be so eager to turn the power of Government onto others.

So, there was an initial report yesterday that ICE Agents showed up at Hamline Elementary School in Back of the Yards, and being turned away, but, further reporting determined the two Officials were Secret Service Agents apparently seeking to speak to an 11 year old about a Tik-Tok video threat against Trump.  Now, first off get the fuck outta here with this being some metaphysical threat requiring SS Agents go into the school to apprehend this fucking child.  It's already obvious they know who the child in question is and could easily figure out their   

Secondly, perhaps you recall the video posted from Jeremy Kauffman, the operator of the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire Twitter page, where he repeatedly called for Vice President Harris to be assassinated.  Two FBI agents showed up to interview him and he negged and insulted them openly and defiantly without fear of being taken into custody let alone being shot.  At the end of the encounter the two Agents obviously exasperated simply walk away and he's an adult.  So spare me any claims that some Chicago-land 11 year old is a serious threat of getting anywhere near the fat fuck at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

The only time Officers should be doing enforcement action in a school is when there's an active threat or a person in custody.  Interviews with children don't need to involve going into classrooms to grab a child with a bunch of other innocent children present.  But, remember Federal Law Enforcement is going to act very differently under an Authoritarian Republican than under a Democratic administration.

What the Chicago Tribune article highlights is the fear permeating the Latin/Hispanic communities in and around Chicago, as well as the micro and macro economic impact.  But, this is all a Lark to white people who voted for Trump.

Many Officers may be queasy at the thought of ICE Stormtroopers kicking in doors and rounding up hispanic or latin persons on no pretext other than their brown skin but, actually doing something in resistance is not part of their make-up.  To be fair, many Officer are just plain lazy and don't want to do anything, while others are scared about losing their job/pensions. But, unfortunately, some are actual Nazis who ecstatically shit their pants when Elon Musk gave back-to-back Nazi Salutes.

I've wondered if Trump, Tom Homan, Stephen Miller are going to use the slice-the-salami tactics to avoid backlash or if flush with power they are simply going to whole hog and send Red Army troops into big cities to simply grab up everyone they can.

The tentative ICE raids in this frigid January seem to be a prelude for mass arrests come spring.  Fascist Republicans, Unconstitutional Sheriffs, and companies in business to incarcerate people certainly seem to believe Trump and MAGA will be building massive concentration camp complexes. 

A spokesperson for GEO Group, one of those private companies, told NPR in a statement they are investing $70 million toward more housing, transportation and monitoring capabilities.

Some state officials are eager to help. Texas officials promised Trump 1,400 acres to use as a detention camp, about the size of a thousand football fields. Arizona Republican Sen. John Kavanagh plans to introduce a bill to offer ICE two empty state prisons, leased for a dollar a year each.

"We were using both of them until recently. It's just that we ran out of prisoners. So we closed them," Kavanagh said. "It's kind of like opening up the old country house in the spring."

But Jonathan Thompson, executive director of the National Sheriffs' Association, said there is "significant willingness" among the nation's more than 3,000 sheriffs to help, offering bed space or participating in the federal 287(g) program, which gives local law enforcement authority to perform certain immigration duties.

Sheriff Brian Kozak in Laramie County, Wyo., says his jail has more than 200 empty beds he plans to offer to ICE.

"If they're going to be detained and held somewhere, our jail offers pretty good resources to help people in their transition," said Kozak, who also plans to join the 287(g) program.

Kozak said his jail already has an agreement with the U.S. Marshals Service to hold people for $120 a day, and imagines the reimbursement from ICE would be similar. Most of his empty bed space is already accounted for in the jail's budget.

"Anyone that we hold above and beyond that is then just extra revenue that we have, that we normally would not have."

Extra Revenue. I don't think we are going to have too wonder for very long.  Despite the good stance by Illinois elected Governor and Attorney General, there are enough fascists in waiting who will enjoy being unleashed.  They've been Standing Back and Standing By for over 4 years.  Paper impediments like the the 4th and 14th Amendment aren't going to stop them when they get the Marching Orders from Trump.

MAGA Stormtroopers are absolutely going to raid schools and kidnap children without warrants and without any care for due process, rights, or the Constitution.

Additional:

Meanwhile, the MAGA response is going exactly as I predicted.  I said Trump admin people would claim the arrests were the Worst of the Worst, and the (white) people who say never trust the Government would swallow the statements about who was arrested without question,

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said, "The Trump Administration arrested 538 illegal immigrant criminals including a suspected terrorist, four members of the Tren de Aragua gang, and several illegals convicted of sex crimes against minors." 

Any Americans caught up in the the Raids have only themselves to blame...
