U.S. immigration agents wearing masks arrested a Georgetown University academic outside his home in Virginia. They detained two German tourists for weeks when they tried to enter the country legally through the southern border. They knocked on doors at Columbia University apartments, searching for pro-Palestinian protesters.
The Trump administration has opened a new phase in its immigration agenda, one that goes well beyond the mass deportation of undocumented immigrants.
U.S. border officials are using more aggressive tactics, which the administration calls “enhanced vetting,” at ports of entry to the United States, prompting American allies like Germany to update their travel advisories.

What’s that? Donald “dictator from day one” Trump is doing exactly what he said he would? Well, to be fair, most politicians don’t do what they say they will so it might be taking people by surprise. Too bad he promised to be absolute garbage and now that’s what they’ve got.
Who knew the guy who promised to do exactly this could have suddenly started to do exactly what he said.
