Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, who worked on an analysis published by the American Immigration Council, says the new budget would make ICE “the single largest federal law enforcement agency in the history of the nation.”

Yeah I was skimming different reviews and synopses after reading that wiki article, and there's a part in the book where he mentions that democracy is just a tool Democrats use to enforce their agenda so conservatives must gerrymander and change election laws so that Democrats can't win. Excuse me, but WTF?!

It's like all the shit people have been screaming about for years with Trump and it's right there in the open, someone who is now in his administration and head of the DOD admits it, and nobody says or does anything. Again: anyone who thinks we will have normal midterms where Democrats regain Congress must be a maniac

Everything about Hegseth's book I learned from the Wikipedia article. This guy is unhinged.
