Trump demands Secret Service agents sign up to ICE ‘mass removal campaign’ – We Got This Covered

The Secret Service plays a crucial role in law enforcement. They guard the lives of the President, Vice President, their families, and many other high-profile designated individuals and are also trusted with the security of critical locations like the White House, and ensure public events like inaugurations pass without incident.

Their lesser-known duties include battling counterfeiting of currency, investigating financial crimes and tackling cybercrime threats through Electronic Crimes Task Forces. But now Trump is ordering Secret Service agents to line up alongside ICE to help “fully implement the President’s mass removal scheme”.

That’s as per a budget report on the service, which casually mentions their expanded duties at the bottom of the overview:

Notably, the Secret Service is part of the Department of Homeland Security, currently led by Kristi “puppy slayer” Noem. She also controls ICE, border protection, and the TSA, all of which have been pressed into service in Trump’s anti-immigrant crusade, so perhaps it shouldn’t be surprising that the SS will join their goon squad.

But, as many have pointed out, expanding the Secret Service’s role to include hunting down and disposing of immigrants risks spreading them too thinly and diluting their mission, transforming them into just another gang of Trump thugs. It’s unknown what new Secret Service director Sean Curran makes of this, as he’s only recently been parachuted into the role after being promoted from Trump’s protective security detail after he shielded him at the 2024 Butler assassination attempt.

Immigrant hunters

This transformation of the Secret Service into immigrant hunters is just one of the many ways Trump is perverting various parts of the United States government. Teachers and school staff have been under pressure from ICE to facilitate raids on their schools, doctors and nurses have been told to serve up patients ICE wants to deport, and every other law enforcement body is on high alert for anyone they even suspect might be in the country illegally.

Some of you may be cheering this on, but consider this. There are only so many people in the country illegally, and, if these current tactics continue, their numbers will be falling fast. What do you think is going to happen to the huge anti-immigrant state apparatus when there’s no more immigrants to prey on? Somehow, I doubt they’re going to wrap it up and shrink the budget, they’ll just find new targets. And, maybe, one day that’s going to be you.
