As if we were talking about people who had any intention, ever, of doing what they said they would (i.e., only deporting criminals). Trump is just a sociopathic demagogue; he'll say or do whatever advantages himself, without compunction. Stephen Miller, another sociopath who happily finds himself in a position of power and in command of an army of thugs, is indulging master-race fantasies that don't care about criminal or not criminal; they only care about white or not white, pure or not pure. They don't care about trifling legal distinctions and they won't be stopped by them.

I appreciate this clarification. I know it doesn't matter to Trump and his toadies but it's important, nonetheless. When I think of the awfulness of ICE abductions and concentration camps, it feels as if we are just continuing on our Incarceration Addiction. I think we have more people in prison than any other nation (but I'm not completely sure about that). We do not worry about our prisons. We do not concern ourselves with conditions for our legal prisoners, why would be care about "Alligator Alcatraz?" It's as American as apple pie.
