GENOCIDE is here in the United States NOW.
Today I learned that on Feb 5th of this year, the Office of the Attorney General issues a memorandum reinstating the 2018 Memorandum but also ADDING to it.... It states that the death penalty should be sought by federal prosecutors not only for the most violent of crimes but...... wait for it..... "In addition to drug-related prosecutions, the policy shall also be applied to cases involving non-drug capital crimes by cartels, transnational criminal organizations, and aliens who traverse our borders and remain in the United States without legal status. "
Read that last line.... You know how they're demanding undocumented aliens to register immediately? This is why. If they don't, and are found, the federal prosecutors are being told to seek the death penalty. The highlighted section I have saved here is on page 2 of the source link direct from justice.gov. I saved the PDF to my computer too in case they ever try to delete it from history.

This is very fucked... but just to be clear, what it's saying is that prosecutors should seek the death penalty in cases involving a capital crime where the defendant lacks legal status. It's not saying to seek the death penalty for immigration violations alone. Still horrifically wrong, discriminatory and evil, but not as evil as it sounds without that context.

It's crazy that we would need that clarification. But given the willingness of this administration to snatch people off the street and throw them into a concentration camp in El Salvador without due process or any meaningful justification, in open defiance of the law, you can't really assume anything is too crazy to be true.

Baby steps... They'll get there. "Resisting" will soon be a capital crime. Stepping out of line is terrorism!

So gas chambers in camps?
