@randahl @mc Little heads up from Germany: the guy whose party just won the federal election dreams of exactly this: detain indefinitely and without due diligence any "alien" coming in "irregularly". His name: Friedrich Merz, the leaner and less orange Trump. He got the whole election campaign to orbit around immigration.
@randahl @mc A little more context: the story has some attention at yellow press outlets like Bild or BZ (just like Bild an outlet of Springer, let's say the Kraut Murdoch) who went out of their way to push anti-immigration rhetoric in the federal election campaign.
They applauded even the stupidest and cruelest deportation flights. Yet, when it's a German citizen (even clearly not aligning with their stereotypical German) they show outrage about the behaviour of ICE and even compassion with Jessica, the tattoo artist.
