Tales From Soviet America

Not surprisingly, our own homegrown secret police are part of the Department of Homeland Security. This is the money quote, by one of the senior officers of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which is now functioning as the American Gestapo, or the KGB, take your pick:
"If you don't have enough evidence to charge someone criminally but you think he's illegal, we can make him disappear," James Pendergraph, then executive director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Office of State and Local Coordination
This is no different from the powers claimed by the Bush Administration, only then the magic words were "enemy combatant", not "illegal alien."

This is nothing short of a black stain on what is left of our national honor.

This needs to be fixed, now.
