As far back as 2017, I wrote that what is holding Trump back from becoming the genocidal dictator of his dreams, is a big enough army willing to accomplish his illegal ethnonationalist goals. Even now, as GOP budget funding feeds into Trump's turbo-charged police state, he lacks the ability to occupy multiple cities at once, and as Minneapolis demonstrated, the violent fascist goons necessary to control even the cities he occupies. Furthermore, Gestapo security forces the regime is forced to deploy to quell resistance to the ethnic cleansing project in our streets, are Gestapo forces that aren't actually doing the kidnappings necessary to feed Stephen Miller's insatiable demand for deportation numbers.
As I noted above, one of the ways Trump has tried to bridge the numbers gap between the army he has, and the Schutzstaffel of his dreams, is to recruit local police forces into roving "task force" agents that resemble nothing so much as slavecatchers, through the 287(g) program. This program, a longstanding bipartisan gift to racist sheriff's departments that want to play border cop or concentration camp jailer in their towns, has rapidly expanded under the Trump regime, and now former DHS employees are sounding the alarm that like ICE itself, these "deputized" murderpigs are being tasked with rounding people up for the color of the skin, with virtually no oversight whatsoever.
Ex-watchdogs warn rush to give power to local police in immigration crackdown risks ‘threat to civil rights’
“Taking a problematic enforcement program, that reintroduces models of enforcement that were discontinued because of demonstrable civil rights violations and super-sizing it while removing all internal guardrails, is more than alarming,” said Katerina Herodotou, one of the former CRCL officials who was ousted last year. “It is a threat to civil rights nationwide.”
This is a long article but the short story here is that immediately after taking power, the Trump regime gutted every civil rights and oversight division that would keep track of abuses by pigs operating under these 287(g) agreements. At the same time, DHS mandated a return to a "task force model" of rounding up migrants that had been phased out in 2012 after longtime Trump ally Sheriff Joe Arpaio was found running what was essential a migrant torture camp out of his jail in Arizona.
"Now deputized local officials can interrogate anyone they believe is in the US unlawfully about their immigration status in the course of their regular police work. And they can detain people and turn them over to ICE without the pretext of a criminal arrest, purely on suspicion of violating immigration law despite that being a federal, civil offense."
So, pigs that sign up for this program can behave exactly like Gestapo goons in Minneapolis, and because there's literally nobody assigned to police the police doing this, they definitely will. Now Americans don't have to wait for ICE to come to their town; local police forces can bring the Gestapo to our streets by proxy. Of course adoption of the program is (for now) voluntary, but there sure are a lot of police departments signing up.
"An increasing number of local law enforcement agencies throughout the country have signed 287(g) agreements in the past year to actively cooperate with ICE. In January 2025, fewer than 200 jurisdictions were involved. Now, more than 1,400 local, county and state agencies have signed on to aid DHS in its immigration enforcement work."
How is Trump getting police forces to sign up for a program that makes them Gestapo agents? Sure cops are racist, but they're also lazy. Would you believe by bribing them with money the GOP provided in the Big Fascism Bill?
"Big Beautiful Bill funding is now used for incentivizing local agencies to deputize more of their officers for ICE task forces, offering $7,500 for equipment per new task force officer, $100,000 for new vehicles per agency and full reimbursement for the salary and benefits of each task force officer."
The Trumpenreich has even instituted a bonus program for murderpigs that round up migrants well.
"The Trump administration in October also began offering “monetary performance awards” to local agencies based on the number of undocumented immigrants they identify, including up to $1,000 per officer, per quarter. One CRCL official was shocked to learn of this.
“They have essentially set up a bounty hunter system and are incentivizing local/state law enforcement to detain anyone who appears to be undocumented,” they told the Guardian."
Folks, the Trump regime is turning local police into their white nationalist Gestapo and paying slavecatcher bounties to murderpigs who kidnap migrants. I don't know what it will take for Americans to realize we're already living in the Pork Reich, but it sure does feel like it's time to stop pretending.
