That assumes that they would need to. Make enough things illegal and you can legally enslave everyone arrested, especially minorities targeted by law enforcement (oops we're already doing this). Criminalize existing as a non citizen (and brown), being LGBTQ, being homeless, etc., and you've already got the mechanism to remove your undesirables into forced labor camps, what good does it do making it more explicit?
Laws which are not enforced are identical to laws which do not exist.
This is elimination of civil rights. The second best time to !resist@fedia.io is right now.
Hell yes, time to violate the civil rights of Trump voters with impunity

The division’s investigations found civil rights abuses by Minneapolis police following the police killing of George Floyd and abuses by Louisville police following the police killing of Breonna Taylor.
Just casually wiping those changes off the table. Wtf

The U.S. has never cared about dictators. We've installed a few for friendly relations to the U.S. We just never tried a dictatorship ourselves.
