We are less than a week from when Trump can invoke the #InsurrectionAct and target US citizens for deportation to #ConcentrationCamps, and here he is telling #Bukele to build five more gulag prisons in #ElSalvador. Things can get much worse for #antifascists here. #Organize now!

"An email sent to thousands of people yesterday by the Department of Homeland Security escalates the abuse. The automated note refers to the 'termination of parole' and seeks to frighten its recipients by warning that if they don’t leave the U.S. 'immediately you will be subject to potential law enforcement actions that will result in your removal.'”

"The memorandum creates a military buffer zone along the border so that any migrant crossing would be trespassing on a U.S. military base. This would allow active-duty soldiers to hold migrants until ICE agents take them.
By April 20, the secretaries of defense and homeland security are supposed to report to the president whether they think he should invoke the 1807 Insurrection Act to enable him to use the military to aid in mass deportations."
"Tonight, Trump signed a memorandum to the secretaries of defense, interior, agriculture, and homeland security calling for a 'Military Mission for Sealing the Southern Border of the United States and Repelling Invasions.'"

"..but better for Trump if there were scenes of bloody street fights. If his opponents don’t hand it to him, prepare for him to egg on already twitchy counter-protesters or use agent provocateurs. Violence in the streets feeds Trump’s strongman image."
"If they can’t bait the movement into violence, then they’ll almost certainly instigate it. In 1990’s Serbia, Slobodan Milošević called upon the paramilitary to show up at the same date and location of planned opposition protests. When inevitable violence happened, he’d order the military to crackdown severely on protesters. This seems like a playbook Trump would know how to follow."

It's really important that everybody is warned about the possibility of Trump invoking the #insurrectionact as that would change everything!
Resisting would soon become a crime!

“…tucked away in section 6B of #Trump’s day-one #ExecutiveOrder declaring a national emergency at the southern border was this pearl… :
‘Within 90 days of the date of this proclamation, the Secy of Defense & the Secy of Homeland Security shall submit a joint report…about the conditions … & any recommendations regarding additional actions that may be necessary…, including whether to invoke the #InsurrectionAct of 1807.’”

The Bulwark · Will Trump Invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807 Next?
One of the things Senator Cory #Booker described in the middle of the night is Trump's timeline for invoking the Insurrection Act & that chilling description kept me awake far longer.
On "Day One" Trump tasked Sec Def & Sec Hom Sec with a 90 DAY study & preparation timeline on the #InsurrectionAct, which will enable him to use the military within the country to round up & deport people, among other things.
Be advised that prep time is up on APRIL 20.
