We are less safe because of the omniforce. Other crime is still happening, even as more and more of the country's law enforcement is focused on rounding up non-violent immigrants. It’s a good time to be an American-born criminal,” says a former ICE official

The omniforce is accountable only to Trump: they ignore state and local guidance, or court decisions. Forget about knowing the identity of the official. Now you may not know which agency he works for, or even if he is an agent of the state.

If you remember the Iraq war, you will remember The Surge: massing troops into key cities to establish control.

Trump is describing American cities as if they are Baghdad in 2007.

Even as FBI is being downsized, it must allocate more of its resources to the only part of the govt that is growing: immigration enforcement.
The scale of this growth is hard to comprehend. DHS has a slushfund of $10B - bigger than the old ICE budget - to pay other agencies and state & local cops.

The merging of the omniforce is happening via different mechanisms.
First, ICE has become a black hole consuming resources from other agencies. Those agencies are being told to send their people to support ICE. For example, nearly half of FBI field agents work on immigration enforcement.

Military/Paramilitary forces vary in their professionalism. Some, like the FBI and DOD have high professionalism and high commitment to rule of law. Some, like ICE, don't. So Trump is purging DOD/FBI in the hope that leaders will become more like ICE.
