The Laredo detention facility detail crystalizes how enforcement infrastructure gets embedded before policy debates even happen. Once you build a 1,000-person processing center, deportation capacity becomes a sunk cost that shapes future decisions. I've noticed this pattern in other sectors where procurement timelines run ahead of legislative oversight, creating fait accompli situations. The bipartisan continuity you document makes sense once private contracts create institutional momentum independant of electoral cycles.

Todd, You need right now to dig into the internal 2013 DHS study of deadly force by Border Patrol which blows wide open the Good shooting,. I have copied the key passages and link to the study on my blog workingimmigrants.com. I posted a few days ago. Beat the mainstream media on this. the Nation and the LA Times wrote artices on this study a decade ago. Peter Rousmaniere peter.rousmaniere@gmail.com

This is reminiscent of what Yuri Bezmonov taught about how the Soviet Union overthrew countries and expanded their empire. The four stages were (we appear to be in between stages 2 & 3):

1) Demoralization, "educate" an entire generation on the "proper" idealogy (15 to 20 years)

2) Destabilization, target country’s foreign relations, defense, and economy (ship all manufactoring to China, etc)

3) Crisis, 6-18 weeks of chaos as a climatic turning point.

4) Normalization, status quo and Overton Widown dramatically shifted, expectations permanently gutted, military occupation standard.

Another way to say it: this is contrived, a formula, a script, it is not organic. We are being directed like puppets from a worn-out playbook at the merriment of psychopaths who own and control the media (what we see and hear) along with both wings of our vulture government.

The police hate the protestors and vice-versa, this did not happen by happy accident. In actuality it isn't us vs ICE, it's:

ALL of us vs the 1%. That’s always how its been. Every single red and blue voter on the planet has way more in common with each other, and shares way more of the same values with one another, than both of them combined versus the 1% who view us as cattle. They are our predators. We work to enrich them. They feast on our efforts and divide and spread hate among us, while sparing no expense to replace us with AI, and raining down scorn.

United we stand. Divided we fall. They know this which is why we are being mercilessly divided.

I can't wait until all of these ICE and BP frauds are unemployed.
