Stephen Miller Planning the Great Purge: Recruit ‘Red State’ Deportation Army To Round Up Immigrants, Rip Them from Their Homes and Community, and Forcibly Deport Them - America's Voice

Fringe sheriffs who believe they’re totally unaccountable to any state or federal authority hosted a right-wing conference in Las Vegas last week, where they made explicit calls for vigilante gangs “to patrol polling stations and stop the ‘expected flood’ of ‘illegal’ immigrant voters,” WIRED reports.

A preview of this deportation army is happening right in front of our eyes.

WIRED this month: “Far-right sheriffs want a citizen army to stop ‘illegal immigrant’ voters.” Of course, widespread non-citizen voting isn't a real thing.

On sheriff “told the audience that he already had a ‘posse’ of 150 deputized citizens.”

For Miller, these sheriffs are dream recruits for his deportation army. Harassing people of color has been a lifelong mission for him, as reported by Univision in 2017. Former classmates said Miller “used to make fun of the children of Latino and Asian immigrants who did not speak English well.”

How White House advisor Stephen Miller went from pestering Hispanic students to designing Trump's immigration policy

The president's young adviser was a provocateur in his California high school, where he was hostile to Latinos and other minorities. Stephen Miller wrote in his high school yearbook: "There can be no fifty-fifty Americanism in this country."

Round up people, ripping them from their homes and communities. Restrict them into special areas before transportation. Ghettos. Concentration camps. Transport them away in special transportation vehicles. Trains.

We have all seen this before. And the same as before, we are all too complacent to stop it from happening until it is very late.

CSPOA (Constitutional Sheriffs and Police Officers Assocation) are a huge sleeper danger to America. Sheriffs in many counties are accountable to nobody, with the possible sole exception of voters every x years. They also are convinced that only they are tasked with interpreting the US Constitution.

So this is simultaneously intended to manipulate the vote by intimidating people and also ACTUALLY get some people KILLED because that is what will happen if you have armed, angry, bigoted people at voting locations guessing (based on their biases no less) who is an eligible voter.

Great. This is just great.

From Time's new interview w/Trump: “For [a deportation] operation of that scale, Trump says he would rely mostly on the National Guard to round up and remove undoc migrants throughout the country.”

"He would also seek help from local police and says he would deny funding for jurisdictions that decline to adopt his policies.” https://time.com/6972021/donald-trump-2024-election-interview/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=editorial&utm_term=politics_donald-trump&linkId=414827952

But he can’t do that, you might be thinking. He doesn’t care.

When asked about “law that prohibits the use of military force on civilians—Trump seems unmoved by the weight of the statute."

“‘Well, these aren’t civilians,’ he says. 'These are people that aren’t legally in our country.’”

@tusk81 It is not designed for immigrants. Stephen Miller may have a strong motivation to punish immigrants specifically, for whatever fucked-up reason, but the actual deeper reason for a private army like this is chiefly for domestic politics use, once they've broken the seal by extralegally going after immigrants.

Can somebody say Schutzstaffel?

https://www.britannica.com/topic/SS

SS | History, Meaning, & Facts | Britannica

SS (abbreviation of Schutzstaffel [German: ‘Protective Echelon’]), the black-uniformed elite corps and self-described ‘political soldiers’ of the Nazi Party. Founded by Adolf Hitler in 1925 as a small personal bodyguard, the SS grew with the success of the Nazi movement and became virtually a state within a state.

Very literally, yes. A private police force like the Sturmabteilung or the Florida State Guard is one of the very last bricks to fall into place during a fascist takeover before the fireworks get started for real -- once they can challenge the state's monopoly on violence unconstrained by any oversight of court or legislature, there's very little to stop anyone who wants to from simply killing or imprisoning their opponents. We're almost there right now; the little inklings of people of the "right political persuasion" not being punished by the courts, or intermingling of people in civilian law enforcement with people in Patriot Front etc, are little sparks of it getting started for real.

I was talking with someone yesterday about tearing down the system (presumably meaning police, political parties, big corporations). My guy, I will never try to tell you not to work for change because things definitely need help, but a lot of that system is protecting you too. The things that can come in after the system falls away will make getting arrested at a protest seem like sunshine and sweet lemonade.

@tusk81 Some political personnel in Germany would also love guards at polling stations to make sure that certain voters do not vote. Only a „good“ reason to sell it to the masses is missing in the moment.

Let‘s see if refugees from Ukraine will be brought into the blame game as „illegitimate voters“. They have already been blamed as lucky receivers of unconditional welfare on the back of German taxpayers.
