Given that DHS, and in specific the ICE Gestapo have been the chief vehicle for Trump and Stephen Miller's larger ethno-nationalist purification project in America this past entire year, I don't think there's much hope of me catching you up on what ICE has been up to in the months since I stopped writing have passed. The short version is that they've been up to a whole lot of nazi shit, that makes it clear that at a very minimum Trump's mass deportation agenda is both real as penitentiary steel, and an ethnic cleansing operation in progress.
Of course, as far back as 2017, I was writing that Trump and Miller's then 1st term immigration policy was blatant white nationalism, and while the Swine Emperor did not yet have a large enough army to do a genocide (and ethnic cleansing is really just a polite way to say genocide; especially once some clever nazi starts pointing out that bullets cost less than boats) he was molding ICE and CBP into just such a force as we watched on live TV. I'd say that analysis aged pretty well, quite frankly; although I was certainly not the only analyst to notice - Adam Serwer in particular was writing many of the same things and issuing many of the same warnings.
Naturally, anyone who (correctly) analyzed that all of Trump and Miller's stated policy intentions pointed directly towards an ethnic cleansing operation, was dismissed as an alarmist. Yet if we fast forward to the very first year of Trump's second term in office, the reality that the entire US government has been repurposed in a variety of ways to conduct just such an ethnic cleansing in America, is so undeniable as to discredit an establishment that still wishes to pretend otherwise.
Take for example this December 13th opinion piece published in the Guardian; roughly 9 days after Trump sent 3,000 federal Gestapo goons to occupy Minneapolis, but before they'd actually murdered anyone there for exercising their constitutional rights.

The ethnic cleansing of the United States will destroy it
"The rant is abhorrent and factually incorrect, but it does hold one truth – the Trump administration’s vision for the United States is one of a white Christian nation. And the path to accomplish it is through the exclusion and removal of all who do not fit that vision – in other words, through ethnic cleansing.
To that end, Trump and his acolytes have increasingly been using the term “reverse migration” and even proposed an “office of remigration”. The idea, borrowed from white supremacists in Europe, understands immigrants as an inherent threat to the identity of what they imagine to be “white” nations. Immigrants’ forcible and systematic removal – remigration – is envisioned as a way to “restore” that whiteness.
This vision of an ethnically cleansed, white US is being enacted in policy."
As I implied above, I don't think it *should* be controversial to refer to Trump's mass deportation agenda as an ethnic cleansing project at this point; although to some degree, it still is. The reason I chose this piece by Professor Gowayed however, is because the author walks you through the ways this ethnic cleansing project goes beyond ICE disappearing people in our streets for the color of their skin, and instead has repurposed the entire apparatus of the federal government to "restore" whiteness and white supremacy. Legitimate pathways to citizenship or residency are closed, the regime is seeking to end birthright citizenship and expand the government's power to denaturalize people who've legally obtained citizenship already. The Supreme Court has allowed immigration pigs to stop people based on race, and at the same time an openly white supremacist GOP has poured enough money into the federal Gestapo to transform Trump's immigration security forces into his own private army. The entire federal government is now feeding data into a racialized police state, mass surveillance panopticon, at the very same time the Trump regime is slashing social safety net and support programs that will disproportionally affect people of color. All of which is to say nothing about the fact that the fascist police state being unleashed on migrants, is also being simultaneously repurposed to target anyone, including white American citizens, who opposes the Gestapo, or Trump's fascist agenda at all.
I'm not gonna lie to you folks, the situation is grim; but whatever we're going to do about all of this must be done with eyes wide open. It is not hyperbole to call an obvious ethnic cleansing operation, ethnic cleansing and indeed a genocide in progress. Thanks to the long history of fascism we already know how this story ends, and waiting around for Trump to start digging mass graves is a very good way to end up with mass graves.
