John Whitehead | First them, then us: America’s shift from Police State to Prison State (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“If Trump can disappear them, he can disappear you.” — Robert Reich For starters, the war on illegal immigration was never just about illegal immigration. If you fell for that, chances are you’re still falling for the government’s oldest trick: manufacture a crisis, identify an enemy, frighten the public, declare an emergency, and then use the resulting fear to justify another expansion of government power. Terrorism. Crime. Drugs. National security. Illegal immigration. Take a legitimate proble
John Whitehead | When everything becomes a national security threat (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“The word ‘security’ is a broad, vague generality whose contours should not be invoked to abrogate the fundamental law embodied in the First Amendment.” — Justice Hugo Black, New York Times Co. v. United States (1971) “National security” has become the government’s all-purpose permission slip to behave badly.

In one, Trump strides through a darkene
Tyranny by technicality: The Supreme Court will not save America (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For years, we have been warning that the U.S. Supreme Court would not save us from the American police state. That warning has not grown less urgent. It has simply become more complicated. The danger today is not merely that courts will favor order and procedure over freedom. It is that by the time justice makes an appearance, it will arrive so narrowly, so procedurally and so late that the government will already have prevailed. Consider the fight over President Trump’s massive $400 million Whi
