Essential point in this exchange with @willsommer.bsky.social: Trump-Miller have to target noncriminals for deportation because it's the only way to get the numbers they need to try for "full-scale ethnic change." Terror is central to this.

Cannot express enough how much what happened at that meeting three weeks ago has changed things on the ground.
Courthouse arrests started within days, then check-in arrests. Worksite raids, once rare, began happening daily. Detention has skyrocketed over capacity. People are going missing.

Really good WSJ article on ICE escalations over recent weeks including Miller's visit to ICE national HQ where he demanded Home Depot raids. www.wsj.com/us-news/prot...
The White House Marching Orders That Sparked the L.A. Migrant Crackdown
After deportations fell short of President Trump’s campaign promises, federal agents summoned to a meeting in Washington were told to “just go out there and arrest illegal aliens.”

Even *if* you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d *still* need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented.
His argument fails even on its own terms.

This is an unusual order for several reasons, suggesting the majority thought it necessary. This was issued:
• after midnight
• before the government even responded (perhaps most irregular)
• while a Fifth Circuit request remains pending &
