Is Donald Trump building his own paramilitary militia?

What are the characteristics of ISA? How. do they compare with other organizations. of a sort of paramilitary nature? >> So in in lots of parts of the world. there are paramilitary forces that are. supposed to serve the guy in charge. rather than institutions. Um and the the. warning signs to watch out for are. firstly that you have a force that is. outside the normal um command and. control structure of the police and the. military. Secondly, they tend to be paid. better than they could get in any other. line of work to keep them loyal. Um,

then they tend to be, you know, whereas. normal police or military are supposed. to be impartial. Um, the paramilitaries. will be very partial, possibly. ideological. Um, and then most. importantly of all, they will tend to be. above the law. Not uh djure, but you. know, if the opposition jaywalk, they. get arrested. If the paramilitary forces. um kill someone, it may be that nothing. happens. The um hurdles that you have to. jump through to qualify to work for ISIS. is basically have a pulse. The benefits,

you get a up to a a $50,000 signing. bonus, full federal benefits, bonuses. for arresting people. There's a lot of. people making good money um doing this. Secondly, the the ideological thing. You. saw the recruiting video. There's much. worse things than that. official ICE. websites are saying. Um it's I mean it's. it's kind of Trumpism on steroids. It's. saying um America is being invaded by. criminals and predators. We need you to. get them out. College degree not.

required. It's it's saying, you know, either you really agree with the Trump. agenda or this is not the place for you. to work. And then um I see we've just. got this stuff up here. This is these. are some of the things that they're. putting out on social media. And this is. even worse. Now, a lot of people looking. at this, they don't see anything. particular, but look at the one in the. top right hand corner. We'll have our. home again. To most people, that sounds, you know, meh, but I mean, that is a. white supremacist song. It's extremely.

well known to people who know these. things. Um the one in the top left hand. corner with um the uh Uncle Sam at the. crossroads that was put out uh by ICE uh. with the catchphrase which way American. man which is an illusion to a neo-Nazi. book from the 1970s. Now, if they were. doing this sort of thing just maybe. once, they happened to get a phrase that. happened to be um a white supremacist. phrase, you might think it was an. accident, but they're doing it all the. time, which makes you think it's.

deliberate.
