They want government thugs that will facilitate their rule, not civil servants who work for the people.

and realized how important it is that many of our judges and federal employees are refusing to go along with inhumane and illegal orders.

For people not familiar with the movie, it takes place in occupied Germany in 1948. It is fiction based on fact about 4 judges on trial for crimes against humanity because during the Nazi regime they went along with orders to convict innocent people who were then executed or sent to concentration camps where they died. They were tried before a US tribunal in the same German courtroom where they had sentenced people to death.

One of the judges being tried told a tribunal judge that he never thought that his convictions of people in court would ever become the horrors that occurred under Nazis. The tribunal judge answered him, "It came to that the very first time that you sentenced someone to death that you knew was innocent."

In other words, you prevent atrocities from happening by refusing at the start to cooperate with inhumane and illegal practices.

Good dedicated people who didn't want to aid in the destruction of the country. At least I hope so. Congrats on being on the good side.

... an Employment Authorization Document.

Under the felon's regime, they are even seeking to denaturalize people.

They NEVER intended to limit themselves to seeking to deport undocumented immigrants who have committed a crime (that is, a crime other than the misdemeanor of entering without inspection or the civil offense of unlawful presence).

They NEVER intended to limit themselves to seeking to deport undocumented immigrants for simply being undocumented.

They ALWAYS intended to revoke every legal status, cancel every visa (except for White people), revoke every work status (unless the H1B or whatever holder is white, or is non-white, but is needed by a loyal and wealthy ally's industry).

The ultimate goal is to PURGE non-white people from the U.S. by whatever means necessary to make their insane delusion that the U.S. is a White Homeland a reality.

I've been waiting for some insane shoe to drop on Native Americans and Black People. I think Ann Coulter gave a hint of their aspirations when she talked about only people who could prove they had four grandparents born here being allowed to vote. That is, their dream is that every person who is not visibly identifiable as White can only remain a citizen if they can prove all four grandparents were born here. Of course, because of Jim Crow and discrimination in hospital admissions, a whole heck of a lot of Black people have grandparents who were born at home with no official proof.

11. The disgusting part of all this is that they didn't care what happened to the people they were planning to hurt.

Destroying the lives of all the people on that list would bring great suffering to them and their families.
And, I'm pretty sure nearly all of them were either US citizens, or legal immigrants.
Many of them were most likely poor people who don't have the resources to fix the damage being done to their financial well being. Being declared dead by the Social Security Administration could result in actual deaths of thousands, if not 10's of thousands of people.

And the evil people who were going to do this will never have to answer for what they've done to this country.

Think about what they can get away with if we are all desperate for any kind of payday.

And how grateful they believe we should be.

Holy money, I have no (non profane) words for how slimy, sleazy, and underhanded this plan was! Considering what I know about der Mass Deportation Fuhrer Stephen Miller and all the other crap ICE has been pulling, I can't honestly say I'm surprised, but I am outraged beyond belief on behalf of all the perfectly LEGAL people Miller tried to do this to and deeply grateful to the SSA for not going along with it.

Miller must have had DOGE or someone else go through the SSA database and flag every Spanish sounding surname (maybe other non Anglo sounding names as well, but I'm only sure about the Spanish ones). All I have to say that monster is this:
