The real fear is that this is the first year of something much worse than a presidency.

As a citizen, not really scared at all. Actually relieved.

I’d rather have aggressive enforcement than lax enforcement.

Aggressive enforcement of what exactly? Of picking targeted citizens up from the street without a court order to arrest them? Because that's what's happening. It's not enforcement; it's lawlessness and kidnapping. It's what the Nazis did - they made citizens disappear.

having a backup home abroad does you no good if you are trafficked to a labour camp in some random hellhole country

Yes, you can imagine bad things.

I mean we watched those things happen already. The whole CECOT thing was just a few months ago.

Which US citizen got shipped to CECOT?

None. But the thread isn't about US citizens, so I'm not sure why you'd ask.
