ICE deports US citizens. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/ice-deported-3-childre...
They're like the gestapo because they act in secret and hide their identities. They arrest dissidents because they say things the administration doesn't like. See Mahmoud Khalil. They're like the gestapo because hateful people get to just make people "illegal" at their own discretion. Half a million Haitians fleeing violence were here under temporary protected status, the executive branch is choosing to make them "illegal" and lying that Haiti is safe now. Half a million people were legal. Now they're "illegal". https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/27/haiti-temporar...
They do not follow due process which is guaranteed by the constitution to all persons in the US (not just citizens).
https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2025/jul/13/rosie-odonne... Trump wants to make Rosie O'Donnell "illegal". What are your thoughts on this?

True. You bring up another data point of similarity between ICE and Gestapo: they are/were both legal.
My issue isn't with just the legality, but with morality.
Similarly, the Holocaust was legal under German law, because the Führer willed it so.

Thus illustrating the potential gap between legal and moral.
The Führerprinzip mentioned here, by the way, is basically the same argument the conservative supreme court is making right now.
They call it Unitary executive theory in the States, but same idea.
You're correct, fascists will always make morally deplorable acts they wish to enforce with an iron fist legal. Thank you for pointing that out.
Right it's just morally repugnant but it's legal so who cares.
