Worth putting it on the record here, though you probably already know it: “Alligator Alcatraz” is a concentration camp.
Hmm, let’s see… mass detention of civilians without trial or traditional legal protections on the basis of identity (race, religion, ethnicity, political affiliation) rather than any criminal act, often for an indefinite period and done principally to expand political power. Check.

Surprisingly absolutely no one, the main purpose of ICE worksite raids is to arrest the employees and deport them.
Claims that they are "rescuing" people from trafficking or cracking down on employers is just hot air; ICE does these raids to arrest large numbers of immigrants.

"ICE is arresting migrants in worksite raids. Employers are largely escaping charges.
Trump has focused workplace raids on small businesses as part of his administration’s push to ramp up arrests of unauthorized migrants."

Pay attention. Watch this space. Property seizures will be next. To say this is Nazi Germany is NOT hyperbole.
The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens.
Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".
Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.
