The fiery dispute centered on a proposal that would have allowed agents to enter homes without judicial warrants

An internal dispute over how to carry out Donald Trump’s deportation agenda grew so heated that officials had to “clear the room,” according to a new report.

The argument unfolded during a February 2025 meeting attended by Rodney Scott, the commissioner of Customs and Border Protection, and Caleb Vitello, who was then the acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Scott and his deputies were advocating for a “master plan” — approved by then-Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem — that called for establishing a National Incident Command Center, which would tap the resources of ICE, CBP and the Pentagon, NBC News reported.

The plan was part of an effort to dramatically ramp up deportations to 1 million per year, lining up with the president’s promise to carry out the largest illegal immigrant expulsion program in U.S. history.

    How much of a feckless doofus babybrain do you have to be to see this and not imagine that the monster they’re creating will be turned on minorities, dissidents, and ultimately anybody inconvenient to the regime? Even if you’re a twisted sack of shit who likes the sound of that, you’re about as sharp as a sock full of soup if you think this will work out for you.

    Of course. By executing the master plan we can soon realize a final solution to the immigrant problem.

    Anyone comes in my home without a warrant won’t be walking out. Or at least the first five or six won’t.

    Take that for what you will.

      Shotguns with 1oz slugs transfer enough force that even if they hit armor capable of stopping it, it can cave in a chest cavity and leave someone slowly suffocating.

      Edit: oops, ment to post this in the othet thread about firearms I was talking in and not here. Oh well I’ll leave it since there’s no true delete in the fediverse.

      Unfortunatly for people without the background of somebody like you, that will be loved by ICE. Saves them from a lot of paperwork, before shooting them.

        They’ll all be branded heroes while his entire family and friend circle is harassed endlessly, sometimes for fun.

      lol ok tough guy

      If you have a family and you were expecting ICE to come after you, you’d probably be most likely to see your family again if you fight it legally, instead of trying to shoot your way out. Now, if you have nothing left to lose, then that could be a different story.

        You think the fascists literally kicking in your door to take you and/or your family away is anything other than “nothing left to lose” territory?
