Ex-Trump White House official warns America to take Bannon’s dark warning ‘very seriously’:  Steve Bannon’s recent warning about President Donald Trump using federal immigration agents at airport security checkpoints as a “test run” for the upcoming midterms should be taken seriously. “We have seen militia groups around the country in previous elections, including elections in which Donald Trump has been a candidate, go to the polls with black jackets on and with rifles to try to scare people in those districts from going to vote,” Taylor said

The Trump administration is increasingly deporting asylum seekers with this legal trick. The Trump administration has issued a sweeping new order that could lead to the arrest of tens of thousands of refugees who are lawfully in the United States but do not yet have permanent residency, overturning years of legal and immigration safeguards.

The Throughline: The Trump Administration’s One Weird Trick To Deport Asylum-Seekers, The tactic is called “pretermission.” Technically, it terminates an open immigration court case – meaning an asylum claim isn’t actually denied, it’s simply never considered – and results in an order of removal for the asylum-seeker. Think of it as a pocket veto for asylum claims. The government doesn’t say that you don’t qualify for asylum; it says that it doesn’t even need to answer that question.

Missing ICE records leave the public in the dark on detention center conditions. DHS made clear the funding shutdown would not slow immigration enforcement, and ICE has a healthy budget to keep up detentions and deportations.

The American Gulag. Our concentration camps are not death camps, but people do die there. Taken together, this network of prisons or, more accurately, concentration camps, constitutes an American gulag. “Gulag” is not so much a word as a Russian initialism that came to stand for the Soviet Union’s concentration camp program, originally developed under Joseph Stalin.

There’s a reason no president before Trump authorized war with Iran: Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed a long-standing view of the regime’s leaders, arguing: “These people make policy decisions on the basis of pure theology. So it’s hard to do a deal with Iran.” The rhetoric was such a staple of Washington talk, hardly anyone noticed. But this profoundly ingrained anti-Iran sentiment in Washington helped set the stage for Trump taking the United States to war.
