In the last discussion about such issues, someone linked https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/rearvision/the-dark-s... which is worth a read for past abuses:

> Military authorities in California requested census data to identify the Japanese-American population. Then in 1942, president Franklin Roosevelt issued an executive order to authorise their removal.

This is obviously how this is going to be used and anyone thinking otherwise is naive. They are building a system to track dissenters. First it will be used to track down illegal immigrants to justify its existence. We are pretty much going down the "first they came for.." list.

I don't think they even need to be illegal immigrants based on what we are seeing so far with detentions and deportations.

For example Rümeysa Öztürk (the topic popped up on a now-flagged submission, I'm not sure the etiquette about linking to that at this point). Mahmoud Khalil is another one (permanent resident).

why is there not equal scrutiny about a system of "undocumented, illegal" people who are obviously real people?
