Trump is planning to classify fentanyl as a WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION. No joke.
That label carries real legal consequences: expanded surveillance, easier detention, military logic, and fewer constitutional protections.

Every accusation is an confession; the Trump admin says they’ll “re-review” 230,000 refugees who came under Biden in case they weren’t truly refugees, while also ordering the State Department to declare that white South Africans automatically meet the definition of refugees.
Some news on Trump's doling out of most refugee slots to white South Africans: Two former State Department officials tell us basic protocols designed to determine whether this group actually merits protection have simply been scrapped. It's just whim.

Just to be clear hear, the chances that a removable noncitizen actually has a REAL ID approach zero, so in function (and maybe intent!) this is entirely a proposed policy to arrest US citizens
Add to this that HSI just filed a declaration in our case challenging these policies saying they can’t trust REAL IDs as proof of status.
So showing your papers isn’t even enough to end the stop.
