Words Matter - I Will Not Stop

I will not stop calling the goons who are kidnapping people the Gestapo. No name tags just a uniform that says POLICE. We don't even know who they work for or what requirements were used to hire these people. The FBI has refused to share the evidence in the murders of Good and Pretti with local law enforcement. Since they murdered people in broad daylight, why would I not believe they are murdering people behind closed doors? The Gestapo is accountable to no one. I am OK with calling them vigilantes except they answer to Krasnov/Miller.

I will not stop calling the buildings that the Gestapo are taking the people to they kidnap, concentration camps. People in prisons have rights, people in these concentration camps have no rights. There are reports of people dying in these camps; no investigation. Are there American citizens in these camps?
The Department of Homeland Security told a court Friday that it could once again ban federal lawmakers from making unannounced visits to ICE detention centers after funding restrictions passed by Congress had expired.

"Gestapo" = Geheime Staatspolizei = secret state police. I fear the shoe fits there.

"vigilantes" indicates that they are outside legal authority, which is accurate, but I don't like that term for these ICEholes because they obey Hair Furor. More like his private goon squad. And also, I dislike the implication that they are supposedly enforcing the law, which in truth has nothing to do with their operations.

I also agree with you on their people-warehousing facilities. They are concentrations camps not prisons. Their fondly nicknamed Florida facility is more correctly called "Alligator Auschwitz", as the inmates at "Alcatraz" at least arrived there as a result of judicial proceedings, rather than extra-judicial abductions.
