ICE Lie Exposed: Tarlov on Trump Administration's Political Persecution

ICE Quotas and Misconduct

• 🎯 ICE agents are reportedly incentivized to meet an "insane 3,000 people a day quota," leading to rewards even when detainees are released.
• ⚠️ This system has resulted in the detention of individuals like a US veteran who was arrested while on a cruise with his wife.

Political Persecution and "Domestic Terrorists"

• 🧠 The National Security Memorandum 7 is described as an "all of government effort to go after... the political opposition," effectively labeling anyone who disagrees with Donald Trump as a domestic terrorist.
• 🔍 The memorandum outlines vague "indicators of forthcoming political violence," such as "anti-Christian sentiment" and "anti-Americanism," which could describe millions of Americans not aligned with the MAGA agenda.
• 🗣️ Despite the document's careful wording, Steven Miller explicitly stated that the directive targets Democrats, highlighting its partisan nature.

Accountability and Future Implications

• ⚖️ There's a call for Democrats to establish an "apparatus to hold these people accountable at the top," specifically mentioning Kristi Noem and Steven Miller, as a perceived mistake was made by not doing so after the last Trump administration.
• 📉 The Trump administration's actions, driven by paranoia and a desire to avoid prison, are seen as souring relationships with other nations, potentially leading to entities like BRICS and the Eastern Hemisphere uniting to block US influence.
• 🇺🇸 The administration's approach, including threats to countries like Cuba, Nigeria, and Iran, is contrasted with the desire of people in nations like Venezuela for self-governance, not US intervention.
• 🗳️ Concerns are raised about Trump's potential actions to stall or disrupt the 2026 midterm elections, despite lacking legal standing, as a means to manage his personal legal challenges.
