As Immigration and Customs Enforcement deportation flights reach record highs, the airlines running the trips have taken steps to make it more difficult to track the planes used to carry shackled people across the country and around the world.
Totally reasonable and not at all deeply sketchy and fascist. Hiding who is on the planes and where deportations are headed is not at all incredibly reminiscent of Germany 80 years ago.
Holocaust Denial is a practice as old as the Holocaust itself.
It was started by Nazi propagandists. They danced around the genocide by using cryptic words like “special treatment” or “final solution”, or “alligator alcatraz” (edit: oops got my timelines mixed up)
Meanwhile, they kept people mostly in the dark as to what was going on there. People were abducted, transferred, and procedurally executed, with 0 transparency.
We also must remember that, while the 21st century Nazis stole the script, it will likely not play out in a linear fashion. So always be sure to read ahead and behind to ensure the proper context.
Also current history as well. ICE was formed in 2003, after 9/11 as a “response” to it, and the whole time, both Dem and Repub run government have used it to deport people in cruel ways. Now ICE is very overt and emboldened more than previous, but the cruelty has always been present. There are many ways this could continue that may not end up seeming so overt, people must remain vigilant.

Note that “final solution” was a euphemism back then. That’s where the phrase gained its context.
We’re right before the “Madagascar Solution” part of history.
We all know where this is going.
