    ICE is all those things, including Gestapo. Nazi Germany was heavily influenced by America after all, it’s no surprise it’s come full circle

      Yes, that post is a great reminder that we can make things too simple, but Trump’s administration frequently parrots Nazi propaganda specifically, and we have been told that Trump keeps a book of Hitler’s speeches next to his bed.

      If anything, I think Trump’s administration is so ignorant to history that the Gestapo comparison is more valid, because they likely don’t know about this other history, so they’re just copying the Nazis directly.
