The Trump administration reportedly plans to mobilize up to 1,700 National Guard troops across 19 states in the coming weeks to support its immigration and anti-crime crackdowns, a dramatic expansion of the controversial operation that’s seen federal agents and Guard troops carrying out activities across Washington, D.C.

The troops, who will largely be activated across Republican-controlled states, will serve in support of the administration’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations, as well as other law enforcement priorities, according to comment from unnamed Pentagon officials and documents obtained by Fox News.

Yes they were. By the ones giving the orders.

Like then, fascists will not just abuse and kill the intended victims. They'll also abuse and kill people for standing in the way or for refusing to participate in their crimes against humanity.

I'm not saying that it's not a good thing to resist orders that are both illegal and immoral, I'm saying that it's not automatically and instantly safe like you imply.

You're asking me for a source on Nazis ever being punished for disobedience?

You ARE aware that I mean DURING and BEFORE what Robert Evans refers to as Dub Dub Dos rather than during the following trials, right?
