ICE is no longer an immigration agency.
It is a paramilitary force, backed by a parallel prison system, answerable to the president alone.
What’s happening in the U.S. isn’t a deviation—it’s an infrastructure. And it won’t end with Trump.

World leaders generally treat the rules around directly targeting one another – and civilian administrations – with a fair bit of respect, because what goes around comes around.
Bombing raids and removing a president without a declaration of war quite literally changes the rules.

I always wondered why France had so many heists but if you can still just put a ladder up to a window on the Louvre in the year 2025 and get away with a big bag full of priceless jewels I guess that solves the mystery
