Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.
Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

This was par for the course in Heydrich's Sicherheitsdienst in which undesirables and antinationals were rebranded within the service as hardened criminals so they could be treated more cruelly while in detention.
Similarly ICE is only supposed to go after undocumented immigrants who are also felons. They go after any immigrant and some vulnerable American citizens, felons or not.
The point is to paint the society as teeming with enemies of state, so as to justify more extreme security measures.
