Over two-thirds of people being detained by federal shock troops have no criminal charges. Apparently this is starting to worry some in the GOP making it happen.

Former Republican Gov. Pat McCrory warned that recent local coverage, like an incident at a Charlotte shopping center, when masked agents arrested a man who said he was a U.S. citizen, and a raid at a local country club, may hurt the GOP on an issue it has long dominated.

[…]

McCrory said in an interview. “From a PR and political standpoint, for the first time, immigration is maybe having a negative impact on my party.”

He added, “If I were the administration, I would be really emphasizing who they’ve arrested and the negative impact they’ve had on the community, but we’re not hearing that.”

Yeah, you aren’t hearing that. These campaigns are just mass incarceration based on racism. It’s like WWII when California leaders demanded the 1% of the population who were Japanese surrender their assets and be forced into federal camps (unlike Hawaii where Japanese represented over 30% of the population, yet nothing happened).

California politicians in 1942 don’t get the scrutiny they deserve for enacting Stanford-like cruelty. State leaders said they defined American war against Japan as Californians stealing all the land and homes of Asians. The federal government initially went along with the stupid legacy of Stanford, until it could be stopped to unwind damage being done by generations of overtly racist Californian leaders.

What we see now perhaps is the reverse political split of racism in 1942. The federal GOP, hiring masked militarized gangs to kidnap people simply decorating a Christmas tree, finally is becoming offensive to… the state GOP?

The federal Republicans literally are blowing billions in taxpayer money on trying to cancel non-white Christmas. States should know better than to allow racist federal troops easy entry.
