America First Legal sent letters to dozens of officials across the country, warning of possible incarceration or a civil RICO case if they follow their local policies meant to protect immigrants.

Summary

Stephen Miller’s legal group, America First Legal Foundation, sent letters warning officials in sanctuary jurisdictions of potential “serious consequences,” including civil racketeering charges and prison time, for defying federal immigration laws.

The letters target 249 officials in areas restricting cooperation with ICE, such as San Diego County.

While courts have previously rejected similar anti-sanctuary efforts, the move signals aggressive immigration enforcement plans under Trump’s incoming administration.

Critics argue the threats highlight a broader strategy to intimidate and enforce mass deportation policies.

    Or trans in 1930s Germany. Yes, millions of Jews were exterminated by the collective insanity carried out by the Nazis, but they were not the only target. The mentally/physically disabled, Roma, POC, gay/trans, Communists, socialists, unions, unapproved religions (including xtianity), rival occult groups, and even things like Freemasonry; all were targets of oppression/murder.

    But I think trans were some of the very first…the mass scale murder of Jews really took a while to get into full swing, but outposts of gay/trans seem to have had action taken against them very quickly.
