Am I missing anything?

When I imagined what it would be like if the country was taken over and was devolving into a dystopian hellscape I have to admit this isn't it.

We know for an absolute fact that paramilitary police forces are, by all accounts, randomly snatching people, in some cases US citizens, off the street and without due process or any court proceedings of any kind, and sending them to foreign torture prisons in some of the poorest and most unstable parts of the world.
Despite these actions, it apparently isn't enough for the Mango Mussolini and his minions, this organization, known as (frozen water) is being pushed to dramatically ramp up these kidnappings and renditions to foreign torture prisons.
Things are escalating. They, (frozen water), recently went into the offices of a sitting member of Congress and arresting a person without cause. They have arrested a sitting mayor without cause and charged a member of Congress for exercising her oversight rights as a member of Congress.

If they are emboldened enough to do that, what do you think they would do to regular people?
I mean I'm not saying (frozen water) or "mango Mussolini" because I'm trying to be funny or cute.
I recently read someone drop the Nazi label and just called (frozen water) "cowards".

Let me be unequivocally clear:
If you are driven by xenophobia and racism and snatch people off the street and send them to a foreign torture prison, you are a Nazi.
If (frozen water) is not a modern day representation of Geheime Staatspolizei then I don't know nothing from nothing. We have kidnappings, terrorism, torture and foreign prison camps and and almost complete disregard for the law. Seems pretty Geheime Staatspolizei to me. That last part is key though, "almost complete disregard for the law". Legal recourse and their occasional acceptance of the court rulings, is the only thing, in my opinion, that is keeping this situation from getting out of hand.
