      Truly the most accurate comparison to ICE on paper. Schutzstaffel (SS) is the one everyone knows about and for practical reasons in the public eye, it’s a good analogy, but it’d be beneficial for people be aware of Sturmabteilung (SA), because the SS were far worse following the Nazi party’s truly solidifying grip on power. History really does rhyme.

        Also the SA where mostly thugs, like ICE. Only thing Hitler did far better was to praise them and stand behind them. Bovino was basically sacrificed without any honor (nor was he deserving), but Hitler made national monuments to the goons who died and memorialized them in song.

        Until the night of the long knives, ofc, then he quite literally stabbed them in the back.
