"Phase 1 (ongoing) has been to remove all law-abiding immigrants who have been living in the country waiting for their asylum claims to be processed, hoping that America could be a place for them to have a better life. They now must be kidnapped, separated from their families, denied anything remotely resembling due process, and subjected to grotesquely inhumane conditions."
"Phase 2 is to replace them with (alleged!) brutal autocrat drug criminals from abroad who will be brought in individually (also, as a bonus, in violation of international law). That is the phase we are entering now. Phase 3, of course, is profit. With Maduro in U.S. custody, Trump will now "run" Venezuela and has promised to send in corporations to take care of its oil."
Government policy is described in three phases: first, removal of law-abiding immigrants awaiting asylum decisions, including forced separations, denial of due process, and inhumane detention. Second, targeted capture and transfer of alleged foreign autocrats and drug criminals to U.S. custody, potentially violating international law. Third, seizure of economic control and profit extraction, with U.S. authorities or companies taking over Venezuelan oil operations while bypassing Congressional authorization. The portrayal includes satire of executive disregard for constitutional war powers, distracted leadership, and a Congress that abdicates oversight. The result is militarized immigration enforcement coupled with geopolitical intervention for private gain.
