The Red Thread
ICE, Domestic Militarization, and Trump’s Authoritarian Agenda
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
As Donald Trump ramps up attacks on immigrant communities, he’s building the machinery for a far-reaching authoritarian project. In this episode of The Red Thread, we unpack how anti-immigrant rhetoric is being weaponized to supercharge ICE, recruit a new wave of agents, and quietly expand the domestic role of the U.S. military.
From billion-dollar budget boosts and “Defend the Homeland” recruitment drives to National Guard troops in detention centers and Pentagon land grabs, we trace increased militarization inside U.S. borders — and why it won’t stop with immigrants.
Finally, we discuss what it will take to fight back, why the working class must take coordinated action, and how a mass, working-class movement can confront and dismantle the repressive state — for immigrants, for workers, and for all oppressed people.
