AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>Perhaps consistent with an administration that knows it's breaking the law and violating the constitution under wholly false pretenses, the Trump regime has invoked the “state secrets” privilege to dodge a federal judge's demand for more information about Downmarket Mussolini's fascist clusterfuck operation to ship 250+ migrants it claims, without evidence, are members of a notorious Venezuelan gang, to slave labor prisons in El Salvador: </p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/25/trump-deportation-state-secret" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/us-news/2025/m</span><span class="invisible">ar/25/trump-deportation-state-secret</span></a></p><p>Trump administration claims details of mass deportations are state secrets</p><p>"According to a court filing submitted by justice department officials on Monday evening, “no further information will be provided” to the federal court in Washington DC based on the state secrets privilege. The filing said the case deals with Trump’s complete and absolute authority to remove “designated terrorists participating in a state-sponsored invasion of, and predatory incursion into, the United States”.</p><p>In response to the Trump administration’s invocation, the federal judge in the case said that if the administration would like to provide more information about the Alien Enemies Act operation, they should do so by 31 March.</p><p>Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act on 15 March to expel Venezuelan immigrants in the US. That day, 238 Venezuelans and 23 Salvadoran men were placed on planes and sent to El Salvador, where they were then quickly detained in a massive “terrorism” prison run by the Salvadoran government. For over a week, a federal judge has attempted to compel the Trump administration to release information about the operation."</p><p>This story can be difficult to get a handle on because we're ultimately talking about multiple instances of unlawfully activity by the government, and the contemptuous, often clearly false arguments the fascist Trump regime is deploying to avoid consequences for, or in this case even having to explain, those unlawful, often baldly unconstitutional activities. The first question, whether or not the regime can invoke an 18th-century wartime law to conduct "deportations" without due process (which would include a hearing before a judge, the presentation of evidence, and legal representation for the accused), has already been answered in the short term. US district judge James Boasberg blocked the regime's invocation of the act and ordered the government to turn any planes carrying migrants around immediately.</p><p>As you may have heard, the Trump regime did not obey the judge's order, and then proceeded to play a series of nazi word games to justify why they didn't have to, that were so devoid of respect for both the judge and the law, Boasberg may end up holding Trump officials in contempt of court. The judge then ordered the Trump administration to explain why the government's actions didn't represent an open violation of his court order. All of which brings us to today, where after threatening to impeach Boasberg, repeatedly arguing in the media that the regime either didn't, or had the right to, violate the US Constitution, and petulantly dragging their feet in an act of open defiance, the Pork Reich has announced that they don't intend to provide Boasberg with any more details about the operation because it would expose "state secrets" and harm America's national security. </p><p>Although the Trump regime's "throw buckets of bullshit at the wall and see what sticks" approach to defending its fascist activities makes it hard to pin down the administration's justification for invoking its "state secrets" privilege, we do have two major clues to work with. First the government's filing continues to push the fact-free idea that they are acting to oppose a state-sponsored (by Venezuela) invasion by gang members who are also terrorists, and thus imply everything they're doing is part of an actual war; which means their actions are not subject to judicial review due to the President's legally-established wartime authority to defend America. The number of things objectively wrong with, or false about this argument is literally too staggering to unpack here, but let's just be clear that this is absolute fascist fuckery and bullshit. Our second clue comes from the mouth of US Secretary of State Marco Rubio:</p><p>"The rapid expulsion of nearly 300 immigrants came about via a “nonpublic, sensitive, and high stakes negotiation”, secretary of state Marco Rubio said in a separate Monday declaration. The “sensitive” negotiation was likely with the Salvadoran government headed by President Nayib Bukele."</p><p>Of course the regime is legally within its rights to invoke its "state secrets" privilege, but that doesn't mean anyone with two braincells to rub together has to believe Trumpworld when it argues that it's fighting a war that doesn't exist, or that telling a court about its activities will damage US relations with El Salvador.

AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>And just what does that rapid expansion of the fascist police state look like even in the infancy of the Trump administration? As this March 9th piece published on Truthout notes, it's already a fascist nightmare where migrants are kept in inhumane conditions and their human rights are routinely violated in violent, even lethal ways - and Downmarket Mussolini's regime is only getting started:</p><p><a href="https://truthout.org/articles/as-mass-incarceration-of-immigrants-rises-detention-centers-eye-new-contracts/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">truthout.org/articles/as-mass-</span><span class="invisible">incarceration-of-immigrants-rises-detention-centers-eye-new-contracts/</span></a></p><p>As Mass Incarceration of Immigrants Rises, Detention Centers Eye New Contracts</p><p>"That crisis is set to grow as detention expansion continues. Last week, ICE signed a $1 billion, 15-year contract with the private prison company GEO Group to reopen an empty jailhouse in Newark to incarcerate up to 1,000 immigration prisoners at a time, the first large detention expansion under Trump’s crackdown.</p><p>GEO Group pushed hard for the contract and sued New Jersey in 2024 to successfully overturn a state law originally supported by racial justice activists that banned private companies from contracting with ICE to house immigrants. Now, GEO Group reportedly has plans to increase the facility’s capacity to incarcerate people and potentially generate an additional $500 to $600 million in annual profit. The company has faced multiple lawsuits after immigrants were subjected to what attorneys describe as underpaid and forced labor. Most recently, a federal court upheld a ruling requiring GEO Group to pay $23 million in damages after the company paid ICE detainees $1 a day for labor at a detention center in Tacoma, Washington."</p><p>Like most honest reporting about America's horrifying migrant carceral complex, this is a hard story to read for folks who aren't already familiar with the cruelty, depravity, and casual disregard for human life with which Americans conduct their one-sided war on migrants. The testimony from formerly-incarcerated individuals provided in just this single story should be enough for most people to understand that this has nothing to do with so-called responsible policing, or keeping anyone safe, while the dollar figures involved make it clear that broadly speaking the US government is heavily-funding a whole lot of odious people in the business of torturing migrants for profit. Furthermore, as Trump works to expand the hunting, detention, and deportation of migrants, the piles of money, flow of human rights violations, and atrocities committed in the name of protecting Americans from the lady who works at your local nail salon, will only expand correspondingly. </p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/PoliceState" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PoliceState</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/MigrantRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MigrantRights</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/MassDeportations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MassDeportations</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ICE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ICE</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/PrivatePrisons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PrivatePrisons</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/MigrantCarceralComplex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MigrantCarceralComplex</span></a></p>

"It is unlawful for our government to use Guantánamo as a legal black hole, yet that is exactly what the Trump administration is doing."</p><p>Setareh Ghandehari, advocacy director of Detention Watch Network, said Friday that expansion of operations at Guantánamo "is especially alarming given its remote location and the decades-long documented history of abuse and torture there, which will only be exacerbated by the well-documented abuse inherent to the ICE detention system, including abuse, unsanitary conditions, and medical neglect. In no uncertain terms—lives are in jeopardy."</p><p>I'd say between this and the Trump administration's brazen deal with El Salvador to jail even U.S. Citizens in their "mega-prison" it's very clear what this government's plan for purging people they don't like is, and yes that plan is every bit as cartoonishly fascist as even Trump's most ardent critics have suggested. Furthermore, I would note that as many observers at the time predicted would happen eventually if we embraced a fascist police state to "fight terrorism" in the wake of 9-11, the Trump administration is clearly borrowing heavily from both a bipartisan migrant carceral complex pattern, and a (again bipartisan) history of using offshore prisons in places where American law doesn't apply to commit human rights violations against "bad hombres" - the major difference here is that Trump is now planning on doing that to your neighbors and the lady who works at the nail salon up the street. </p><p>"According to critics like Robinson, "There's no reason to build this in Guantánamo unless you want to do things you don't think you could get away with on the U.S. mainland. It's easy to put tents in Florida. But they're putting them in Cuba. Ask yourself why."</p><p>You can't even say Robinson is speaking about a hypothetical situation because the American security state has already done this, for this precise reason, in slightly different circumstances - most people just weren't paying that much attention because "we gotta get Bin Laden." At this point the enter apparatus and justification for that apparatus already exists in "reasonable" American thought along bipartisan lines; the only thing we're missing from the literal Nazi blueprint is organized mass extermination campaigns and are YOU prepared to promise we won't get there? I sure couldn't.</p><p>While obviously this must be opposed vigorously, it's going to be pretty hard for a mainstream establishment that embraced the road to concentration camps in the name of national security, and has wholly surrendered to the idea that migrants are a "problem" that must be met with "carceral force" (that happens to make certain people very rich) to argue that this scenario is somehow different than the previous mind-numbingly fascist scenarios our entire state apparatus has supported in the past - both to stop migrants, and to prosecute the so-called "War on Terror." </p><p>You can't have a little fascism; and if you try, sooner or later you're going to have a lot more fascism.

joene 🏴🍉<p>This is so typical liberal. If you can't win from the fascists, than you just become one. 🤷🏻♀️ (Yes SPD and the Greens are also liberals.) They think that they now tackled their made up refugee 'crisis' and that people who voted for the fascists (<a href="https://todon.nl/tags/AfD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AfD</span></a>) are now coming back to the mainstream (liberal) parties. This is all bullshit of course (and proven so many times), because the fascists now say 'You see, we were right! So keep voting on us!' and their voters of course do, because they are fascist sheep and people always go for the original! :fckafd: Actually, this will bring even more voters to the AfD. 🤬</p><p>All those demonstrations against fascism were only for the show (read elections).

AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>Along with DeSantis's Florida, privacy advocates and observers frequently acknowledge GOP-controlled Texas as being on the cutting edge of the installation and operation of an authoritarian, surveillance-based police state in our increasingly Cyberpunk-esque society. This ongoing transformation and installment of surveillance infrastructure has the full-throated support of Governor Gregg Abbot who has argued that it's necessary both to police the border, and stop domestic terrorism (read: protest) by a largely imagined "radical left" - which more or less means anyone who opposes his fascist government and its policies. Now, the Texas Department of Public Safety is planning to spend millions of dollars on contracts with a company offering a surveillance tool that uses commercially-available information on the internet to track the location of mobile devices without the oversight of judges or courts; and if they get away with this, you can guarantee Texas DPS won't be the last government entity to use this data to install a mass surveillance state targeting anyone they don't like. </p><p><a href="https://www.texasobserver.org/texas-dps-surveillance-tangle-cobwebs/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">texasobserver.org/texas-dps-su</span><span class="invisible">rveillance-tangle-cobwebs/</span></a></p><p>Texas State Police Gear Up for Massive Expansion of Surveillance Tech</p><p>"Tangles is an artificial intelligence-powered web platform that scrapes information from the open, deep, and dark web. Tangles’ premier add-on feature, WebLoc, is controversial among digital privacy advocates. Any client who purchases access to WebLoc can track different mobile devices’ movements in a specific, virtual area selected by the user, through a capability called “geofencing.” Users of software like Tangles can do this without a search warrant or subpoena. (In a high-profile ruling, the Fifth Circuit recently held that police cannot compel companies like Google to hand over data obtained through geofencing.) Device-tracking services rely on location pings and other personal data pulled from smartphones, usually via in-app advertisers. Surveillance tech companies then buy this information from data brokers and sell access to it as part of their products.</p><p>WebLoc can even be used to access a device’s mobile ad ID, a string of numbers and letters that acts as a unique identifier for mobile devices in the ad marketing ecosystem, according to a US Office of Naval Intelligence procurement notice."</p><p>While some of this may seem like dry technical information, it's important to realize this story sits on a nightmare nexus of important issues in our society; not the least of which is the targeted surveillance of activists and government critics, but also the alliance of private sector companies, exploiting online data collected for marketing purposes, with motivated state actors looking to bypass legal checks and balances on their powers. This is the scenario privacy advocates opposed to online data collection have been talking about for decades now, made manifest under the watchful eye of a fascist government that has already displayed a desire to engage in political repression; namely the State of Texas under Greg Abbott. </p><p>As the story goes on to note, the company that Texas DPS is hiring to help them conduct this surveillance (PenLink) using Tangles, is doing so because it acquired another company that developed the technology, an outfit known as "Cobwebs Technologies." That company was founded in Israel, by three former members of Israeli spec-ops, presumably working in military intelligence. If you guessed that Cobwebs Technologies already has a dark track record, you win a gold star; in 2021 Meta accused the company of being a surveillance-for-hire operation, and banned it (and 200 accounts associated with the company) after an investigation revealed it was being used to target activists and government officials in Hong Kong, and Mexico, at a minimum. Naturally, Texas DPS claims that the purpose of contracting to use this software isn't about repressing opposition to the Abbot government, instead it's about preventing mass shootings, but there is no available evidence of Tangles being used for that purpose, and plenty of evidence that it's a popular tool among states and agencies trying to silence dissent. </p><p>Perhaps the most frightening aspect of this story however isn't that Texas is spending millions to track migrants and potential dissidents using geofencing, so much as the reality that numerous government agencies in America are already using this software themselves.</p><p>"Cobwebs Technologies, now part of PenLink, has scored contracts through its Delaware-based subsidiary Cobwebs America Inc. with various federal agencies, including ICE, the Internal Revenue Service, the Bureau of Indian Affairs and Bureau of Indian Education, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. ICE holds Cobwebs America’s highest-dollar federal contract so far, according to usa.spending.gov."</p><p>In the modern surveillance state, the Eye of Sauron never sleeps.</p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Facism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Facism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Surveillance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Surveillance</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/TexasDPS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TexasDPS</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Abbott" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Abbott</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/MigrantRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MigrantRights</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Protest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Protest</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Privacy</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/PoliceState" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PoliceState</span></a></p>
AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>This week I put together a medium-length essay on my observations in the wake of the 2024 Democratic National Convention. While Democrats celebrated the “unity” on offer at the convention, informed observers who read the 2024 platform and saw the way anti-genocide protesters were treated, found a party shifting significantly to the right to appease fascism.</p><p><a href="https://www.ninaillingworth.com/2024/08/25/falling-backwards-into-history/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">ninaillingworth.com/2024/08/25</span><span class="invisible">/falling-backwards-into-history/</span></a></p><p>Falling Backwards Into History</p><p>"Of course I mention all this in the past tense because after less than four years of the Biden presidency and this year’s DNC gathering, I no longer have the ability to delude myself with any such hopes for American liberalism. While everyone around me was squealing in approval about the “joy” and “unity” on display, the DNC I saw represented a cynical, realpolitik-style commitment to genocide, the carceral industrial complex, and the appeasement of imperialists, nativists, and other fascists, that has brought the Party back to the dark days of Clintonism, even though the political moment – and the ideals of their own voters – have long since left those politics behind. This convention was no triumph; it was a surrender to the reactionary right on so many levels it made my heart hurt, and dashed my (already quite low) expectations for a likely Kamala Harris presidency before that hypothetical administration even exists."</p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Harris" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Harris</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Biden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Biden</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/DNC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DNC</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/MigrantRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MigrantRights</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/CarceralState" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CarceralState</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Imperialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Imperialism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaza</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Genocide</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Israel</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Appeasement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Appeasement</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a></p>
