Video from Kenny Laynez-Ambrosio, 18, puts fresh scrutiny on the harsh tactics used to reach the Trump administration’s ambitious enforcement targets

Video footage of the incident captured by Laynez-Ambrosio… appears to show a group of officers in tactical gear working together to violently detain the three men*, two of whom are undocumented. They appear to use a stun gun on one man, put another in a chokehold and can be heard telling Laynez-Ambrosio: “You’ve got no rights here. You’re a migo, brother.” Afterward, agents can be heard bragging and making light of the arrests, calling the stun gun use “funny” and quipping: “You can smell that … $30,000 bonus.”
Facism.
That’s fascism, but the dumb version. That’s what’s happening here.
There’s an intelligent version?
every iteration of fascism over the past 20k years has gotten dumber and less elaborate. they’ve all been stupid, but every single time someone has to live through one, they look back at the one 80 years prior and go “damn, at least they had some ability to cover their asses”
