Epstein got away with all of this in part because there were whole structures in place to facilitate what he was doing. He did not invent them. He just knew how to work them.

This is an *excellent* synoptic view of our authoritarian present that shows, among other things, that the crisis has long been "hiding in plain sight."
Last summer, a sheriff put it plainly: the federal government “depends on sheriffs and county jails to have bed space,” and his ICE contract helps “pay the bills.”

ICE doesn't ever "leave" any state. There will continue to be ICE and CBP enforcement actions as there were during previous presidents. Hillary Clinton was saying this in her remarks. She doesn't like the visible violence but she is fine with "regular" violence.
