Of course, any ethnic cleansing operation, and suppression of people opposed to it, is going to result in casualties. The Trump regime's ethnonationalist cleansing project, even in its nascent stages, cannot be accomplished without horrifying levels of violence, and yes, even murders. To the surprise of precisely no one who has observed how the rest of the Trump administration operates to cover its tracks and work in secrecy, the ICE Gestapo doesn't release information about its violent incidents. Most Americans inherently understand that this violence is occurring somewhere, but that knowledge merely simmers in the background until blatant evidence of Gestapo violence bursts into the public sphere, primarily through the work of citizen journalism - as in the case of the cold blooded executions of Renne Good, and Alex Pretti by Gestapo murderpigs attached to the CBP wing of the Trumpenreich DHS's ethnic cleansing project.
There are however efforts underway to pierce the Trump regime's veil of secrecy surrounding Gestapo violence. For example, at the very end of January 2026, the American Prospect used news reports, government data, and data from nonprofits, watchdogs, and immigration advocacy groups to create a living document to track how many people the Gestapo has injured or killed; to my knowledge, literally nobody else has compiled this data as of yet.
A Running Count of How Many People ICE Has Killed and Injured
"The Trump regime’s deportation monomania has left far more people dead and wounded than it wants you to know. Agents’ public executions of Renee Good and Alex Pretti have rightly drawn widespread fury, heartbreak, and action. And they are just two of the many more agents have murdered or caused to die in the field since January 2025. Even more people have died in immigration prison. And as for the people federal agents have merely injured? An official count doesn’t exist. There is no doubt that the regime is working overtime to hide the full scope of the terror campaign spreading across our country.
The Prospect launched this tracker to do our part to stop them from getting away with it. We are collecting data to bring the real harm into sharper focus and to counterbalance the mainstream media’s sanitation of what we would call “pogroms” if they were happening in any other country. Consider, for example, how The New York Times represents the deadly operation in Minnesota, under the title “Minneapolis Tensions.” Now consider if that would accurately reflect your anguish if modern-day slave catchers used your toddler as bait and then threw him in prison. Or if they marched your grandfather outside in the snow, wearing only his boxers. Or, God forbid, chased your beloved husband or brother or uncle to his death. Would “tensions” be good enough? No.
None of these deaths had to happen. All are a result of Trump’s racist mass deportation drive. They are a stain on our country and we refuse to forget."
As the Prospect notes, this dataset is of course incomplete and almost certainly represents a vast undercount of the number of violent incidents involving Kristi Noem's DHS forces (including ICE, and CBP). The hope with any living document, is that as more information about the violence and murders the Gestapo are responsible for leaks out, the dataset will become more complete. Even still, the Prospect has collected information on 25 people murdered, and 18 people injured during direct encounters with the Gestapo (obviously, the injury number is a VAST undercount), and 44 people people killed in custody - so murdered by our concentration camps.
Look folks, if you've been reading my writing long enough, you know full well that I believe this is just the tip of the iceberg and these folks are prepared to murder millions of people to get the fascist ethnostate of their dreams. But the reality is that we're not talking about a hypothetical future time when the DHS Gestapo will start killing people to do ethnic cleansing; they're already doing it, and they've budgeted to do a lot more of it in the future. This situation is not going to improve, when the Gestapo sucks down enough GOP budget dollars to become the 8th largest army on Earth, and we've already seen this machine been repurposed to target activists, journalists, and pretty much anyone who thinks maybe it's not a very good idea to have a Gestapo or worse, a Schutzstaffel, and do ethnic cleansing. The Trumpenreich's mass deportation project has already put at least 69 people in the ground in just over a single year and this is only just the beginning. I hate to keep beating the same drum, but a genocidal fascist police state prepared to do fucking murders to suppress migrants, is a genocidal fascist police state that will happily do the same no matter who Trump and Miller point them at.

Roughly 14 years and 20+ social media accounts ago, I first encountered "my favorite writer nobody else has ever heard of." Posting under the handle Mobute, it was actually part-time media critic Jeb Lund who ultimately convinced me that there was something to the idea of integrating a social media account, with a website or blog, to more accurately track with the way people under the age of 60 were actually getting their news and analysis content. In a very strange way, everything I've done on NIDC and the social media accounts attached to it, sprung out of enjoying Lund's unique style of writing, and watching how he moved seamlessly from critical essays, to ripping lanyards and nazis on social media, then back again.
Of course, time and the world's richest nazi (except maybe Putin) buying Twitter caused me to lose track of Lund and his work. So imagine my surprise when immediately after the one day general strike against ICE occupation in Minneapolis, a Jeb Lund essay published on Truthdig showed up in my direct message box. Furthermore, imagine my delight when I found that Jeb hadn't lost his fastball, and had indeed drifted much further to the left in the wake of the open and obvious fascist takeover of America; just as I, and almost every other analyst I talk with regularly have.

Just Say ‘No’
"We can also say this: Wherever you live in the United States, the Trump administration is going to bring an ethnic cleansing near you, if not directly to you, and they are going to use every term except that one to describe what they are doing. They will not stop until they have ethnically cleansed the United States, and they do not care if you die. The only lesson each new body teaches them is how inconsequential it is to make the next one."
Quite frankly, I didn't just share this essay to go down memory lane. At the end of the day, what Jeb Lund is articulating here is more or less the central thesis of my own writing about the Trump administration's vision for America, the ethnic cleansing project he and Stephen Miller are conducting, and the Gestapo's role in transforming (in so much as that is even necessary) the United States into a fascist dictatorship - the Pork Reich. Yes it is a fascist dictatorship in progress, yes they are openly doing ethnic cleansing in our streets, no they don't care if you live or die so long as the stock market stays profitable for some, no the cavalry isn't coming to save us, and yes we have to rise up together on our own and beat back the forces of fascism or we're all fucking cooked.
In particular, I think Lund's most compelling argument for why we must all fight is that these people, this fascist order, clearly means to kill millions and millions of Americans for billionaire (cultists) whether you fight back or not. The author acknowledges that opposing a fascist regime can be dangerous, it might even get you killed, but then articulates all the ways this regime is at a minimum completely indifferent to the deaths of the American people it ostensibly represents, and at worst seems to be actively trying to kill us. And Lund isn't just waxing poetic about the Gestapo coming to your door some day either.
"They have already told all levels of law enforcement to take the gloves off, and they take care to look the other way when “officers are on scene” and a “shooting transpires” and “it eventuates” that you die. They don’t care if you are detained and some combination of filth, disease, malnourishment, injury, confiscation of your medication or “discipline” makes you die. They don’t care if your insurance rescinds your coverage and you die. They do not care if they eliminate Medicaid and Medicare, and you have to fly home and take care of your mom before she dies. They don’t care if you fly home to see her, and your plane collides with something and you die, and they don’t care if it’s blown apart by the debris from a Nazi’s rocket that was busy exploding over a protected wetland and you die.
They don’t care if you get measles, mumps or rubella and die. Sometime in early summer of 2020 was the last time they cared that anyone got COVID and died. They resented passing COVID relief, themselves defrauded it with lusty abandon, and, come the next pandemic, they will use their own crime as justification for the moral hazard of spending a cent to make sure you don’t die."
I don't want to just quote the whole essay here, he actually goes on for at least two more paragraphs pointing out all the ways the Trump regime is probably going to kill you anyway, even and perhaps especially if you don't lift a finger to oppose fascism. Lund then closes by pointing to Minneapolis as an example for us all about how to say "no" and what resistance looks like.
Naturally of course, even Lund couldn't get such a "radical message" published in a mainstream outlet. So I wanted to share it with you here.
