Sure thing… but two things.
First, thanks to ICE, the Trump regime now knows how to disappear people without getting stuck on any legal or institutional obstacles. Two, thanks to ICE (again), they now know exactly what reaction (or, rather, lack of it) to expect from the wider US public and/or media when they do.
It’s one thing to get hold of the hammer, it’s another to figure out how to turn every problem into a nail - and I’d say they have now managed both.
That might be why this feels… different.
Okay those are great points.
