I've been sitting here for the last 10 minutes absorbing this piece. I hate these evil, sadistic bastards with every fiber of my being. My fervent hope is that in the not to distant future we hold Nuremberg type trials for these enthusiastic thugs who'll plead "we were just following orders", as they are consigned to some hell hole prison like Parchman. In the meantime, I keep up the good fight.
I looked up "immigrant legal aid" for the small city 10 miles from me, then I donated $100 to them. Least I can do. Hope others will follow this example if reading this comment!
The arrests of Jewish people by the Gestapo frequently took place at night or during the early morning hours, particularly during large-scale operations designed to maximize terror and minimize resistance. The most well-documented instance is the coordinated mass arrest of approximately 30,000 Jewish men during Kristallnacht (the "Night of Broken Glass") on November 9–10, 1938.
Well, that was cheery. I should save Dworkin’s stack for that moment right before I’m driven to escape into a bubble popping game.
I have been waiting for word the of three AM knock, it was always the most common and horrifying representation of the Gestapo and about as disturbing as anything I’ve read. The blow-by-blow brings it home in a way that is impossible to ignore much longer, I hope it cuts through the noise for even a few people- it takes a lot to get a boulder rolling, but you know the rest. I appreciate how you manage to weave in key tidbits about the way these guys could be dealt with. As usual.
Jack - I just finished this piece which was so well done, I could feel the fear of these poor souls. This is Gestapo Nazi like terror not law enforcement, it is all about creating fear in folks who pose no threat to our safety. I want these people like Noem, Homan, Miller etc to be held responsible for their damage to our democracy. Thank you for all you do to help show a light on these terrible events in out country.

I eagerly await the day when all of these evil racists, from the top all the way to the thugs who are invading homes, are held accountable.

Thanks Jack. This piece was well-written and moved me to tears. We need to stop this terror. Your words will help us do that.

This piece brings the reality many people have or will live. You made it come alive for your readers that a dry column in a news article seldom does.
The actinic taste and smell of fear, the adrenaline that the military outfitted men are pumped up with.
As a mother, vet and citizen I will do my part to protect our Republic in a peaceful way.
Thank you, Jack for all the hard, 3:00 AM style work you do!
