As mass arrests begin nationwide, it serves as a boon for the centralization of authority into the hands of an even more corrupt government and the monopoly on violence which protects it.
It has begun. Last week the Trump administration initiated a nationwide campaign of migrant roundups and mass deportations allegedly targeting illegal immigrants. The crackdown, a coordinated effort across multiple federal agencies and spanning several states included the reauthorization of raids in previously prohibited protected areas including schools, churches, and hospitals. The operation is touted as “targeting criminal aliens”.
On his first day in office, president Trump signed a slew of executive orders targeting immigration, many of which were illegal and outright unconstitutional, among them attempting to target the 14th amendment of the constitution of the United States which enshrines birthright citizenship into law, slated to go into effect February 19th and impact the lives of over 150,000 children.
