"Donald Trump said on Monday that his administration would declare a national emergency and use the US military to carry out mass deportations of undocumented immigrants.

Trump and Miller have described plans to federalize 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. Miller has also advocated for building large-scale detention “camps” and tents."

While Trump's trials are evaporating like dew in the morning sun, a billionaire from Trump's inner circle now promises “The hammer of justice” against those who tried to hold Trump accountable.

It reminds me of this famous quote from the Peruvian dictator Óscar R. Benavides:

"For my friends everything. For my enemies the law.”

"Musk now sits at the heart of the US government, yet requires no Senate approval for his actions and can continue to work in the private sector. He’s allowed to keep X and his 204 million followers, as well as head his electric car company Tesla and rocket company SpaceX. For the first time in history, a big tech billionaire is now shaping democracy not just indirectly, via his media, but directly."
