I've been reading about this all morning, and it gets better. ICE just deported, without due process, a Lebanese Dr. who was in the U.S. on a valid H-1B visa, back to Lebanon. She went home and was detained at Boston's Logan airport for 36 hours when she tried to return, according to news reports, then put on a plane to Paris, presumably to be returned to Lebanon and barred from returning.
Trump is brazenly defying the courts now and daring the judicial system from enforcing any court orders. Since the U.S. marshals fall under the jurisdiction of the DOJ, and Trump owns the DOJ, he will keep defying the courts until someone stops him, forcibly.
The U.S. is rapidly being hijacked by this nut job and his cronies. This immigration war is just the beginning. Given how divided the U.S. population is over all of this, I have to wonder where it all will lead to. I see this but, what are the other political powers in the U.S. going to do? That, it seems, is the open-ended question that no one is answering right now. If they don't do something very quickly, it may be too late. Maybe that is what Trump is counting on. A blitzkrieg on the rule of law and the U.S. constitution, much like what Hitler did to Poland in 1939. Hit them quick before anyone can muster up a defense, and just sit on it, defending it by force. Is this what the DOJ and its federal marshals are going to become? Trump's new military? His Brown Shirts?

Holy fuck
That's more or less what I said when I found out.
I’m starting to wonder what it’s going to take before people start actually fighting him.
