History gives us several precedents, for example:
In 1932, Hoover sent in the army to round up veterans camped out in shanty towns around DC. Tanks armed with machine guns rolled through DC to roust the protestors. (2/x)
Most of us know that FDR ordered 112,000 Japanese-Americans rounded up during WW2 into internment camps. They had done nothing wrong other than they were Japanese. They lost their liberties and their properties. George Takei is a survivor and often speaks about it. (3/x)

"Operation Wetback" was Eisenhower's program to round up Hispanics and dump them across the Mexican border. Some of those detained died while in custody due to sunstroke or disease; how many is unknown. (4/x)

We all know that Hitler began with rounding up the Jews. Trump might begin with Hispanics, with Muslims, with Chinese -- all sorts of rumors are flying.
If SCOTUS lets him do it, what's to stop him from rounding up, e.g. people registered Democrat?
If SCOTUS lets him do it, I'm seriously considering leaving the US. That poses complications, since my #MAGA wife will be quite happy about all this and won't leave. But I'm already researching nations that take US citizens. (5/5)
@WordsmithFL Before the election, the dude said he was going to do this, and had Goebbels Miller salivating in the background. He literally said he was going to round up people and put them in camps. And 70+ million still voted for him. We, as a country, did this to ourselves, because the black woman made millions feel icky or something. Disgusting.
@PoliticalEd I won't be the least bit surprised if he orders troops on the border to shoot anyone trying to cross, including children. That's where this is going.
@WordsmithFL Given that he can now face no repercussions for his actions, I would not be surprised at all. Goebbels Miller would endorse/push this policy, he's a nasty little ghoul.
