\"Opinion<\/a><\/p>\n

There is some real, Nazi-level stuff going on in America right now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, I don\u2019t toss around the \u201cNazi\u201d term loosely. In fact, this might be the first time I\u2019ve ever seriously used the term to discuss current events in the country. And even as I’m doing so, I\u2019m not equating the awful atrocities perpetrated by the Nazis to what\u2019s happening with our treatment of migrants in this country.<\/span><\/p>\n

But on the other hand \u2026 the steady march towards authoritarianism by vilification of a certain group of people is rather hard to miss.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Most notably, it\u2019s the gleeful indifference to the suffering and terror inflicted upon those migrants \u2013 even migrants who are clearly and without question in this country legally and posing no threat whatsoever \u2013 that is so striking. Like, for example, watching the president of the country sit alongside another country\u2019s president, smiling, winking, and shrugging off the fact that they\u2019ve extraordinary renditioned \u2013 that\u2019s the legal term for essentially abducting a person, denying them due process and shipping them off to another country \u2013 a man by mistake to a hellhole prison in El Salvador, and have no intentions of honoring the Supreme Court\u2019s order to return him home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When CNN\u2019s Kaitlan Collins attempted to question the president about denying the high court\u2019s order and reneging on his own promise from a few days earlier to honor their order, the president asked why she wasn\u2019t just happy that they\u2019re not allowing criminals back into the country. A reasonable response maybe for an internet troll, but for a president, it misses on the fact that the person in question was not, as the president is, a convicted (or even accused) criminal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead, it\u2019s just a borderline dictator proclaiming that he has wrongly deported a man \u2013 a father and law-abiding citizen during his years here \u2013 likely leading to his torture and potential death, and laughing off this horrific treatment for which he is solely responsible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s Nazi-level stuff.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And Kilmar Abrego Garcia is not alone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In Alabama, a couple of weeks ago, a grad student at the University of Alabama was abducted by ICE agents in the middle of the night. He was told that his valid visa had been revoked because he posed a grave threat to national security.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How? No one can say, including the Trump Department of Justice, which could not provide a federal judge on Monday with any details to support its claims that Alireza Doroudi posed any threat. He has never been arrested. He has never been accused of a crime. He has never appeared on a watch list. He has never led student protests or even been reprimanded by the university.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Still, he sits in a detention center in Louisiana. Because, I guess, he looks like a troublemaker.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s Nazi-level stuff.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dozens of students have been treated similarly and the administration has provided very little legal support for their actions. In many cases, they claim the students hold views that run counter to American foreign policy, but at the same time, most of those students have broken no laws, raised no red flags and posed zero threat to this country or the campus where they attend school.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s Nazi-level stuff.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And it\u2019s the exact sort of thing our First Amendment protects \u2013 the freedom of people in this country to voice their opinions and organize protests to ensure that authoritarianism is kept in check and that the government doesn\u2019t infringe upon the minority.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Apparently we\u2019re OK just tossing that all aside these days if the folks on the receiving end have brown skin and funny accents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And that, too, is some Nazi-level stuff \u2013 stoking the anger and fears of the general public against a particular group of people for no apparent reason other than to further a political agenda and grab increasingly more power.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s what\u2019s happening here.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you doubt it, let me ask you this: Why is there such anger directed at immigrants, particularly Hispanic and Haitian immigrants?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t try to deny that there\u2019s anger, because you\u2019ve seen the red-faced, spittle-flying goobers ranting and raving on TV and social media about the \u201cdamn migrants\u201d who are \u201cinvading\u201d our country.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, why is there such anger? What did they do?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As far as I can tell, the only thing they\u2019ve ever done is work like hell to survive and maybe get a piece of that American Dream we\u2019ve told so many people about.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are certainly no more criminals among the migrants, because statistics continually show that crime rates among migrants are significantly lower than the crime rates for Americans. While significant influxes of migrants at times can strain the resources of border towns, repeated studies have shown that those strains are temporary and migrants are a net positive for our country\u2019s economy \u2013 both at national and local levels \u2013 providing a boost in tax revenue, labor and small businesses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And yet, despite those undeniable facts, a large portion of the country is apparently OK with denying these folks basic American rights, basic human dignity and basic human decency. They\u2019re OK with their abhorrent treatment, despite committing no crimes. They\u2019re OK with the government, without a lick of evidence, shipping them to a foreign prison to be tortured and killed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not OK with all of that, it\u2019s time to speak up. Because we know what happens if we don\u2019t.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
