(41,862 posts)I have said, all of long, that in the near future no one will be allowed to leave the country because they want total control of who can leave and who can't.

(5,106 posts)That would have been reprehensible to begin with, and yet they were Anglo/blond. And the slashed tire! What was the excuse for that in any case? Probably the "Agents" were bored and decided to see how far they could go under the new Trump regime.

(6,017 posts)They're paramilitary & attract the worst abusers of power from the middle class. I don't think we've met the Gestapo yet, as they were somewhat more organized, competent and secretive.
Wonder if Trump/Pence/Bannon will have their own Night of the Long Knives...

Frankly, I'm astonished it is starting to happen to white people. It's always been like this for brown people who carry several forms of ID and they still don't believe we're here legally. Lots of white people don't even carry their ID with them.
