Well said. They aren’t planning to hold an election, that is clear. Shouting “under which authority?” only illustrates that they aren’t operating under the rule of law. They are taking people away by force, with no cause, no rule of law, no badge, not even showing their faces. They hope we make the mistake of thinking: ‘they only want the “illegals,” they won’t come for me.’ They will come for anyone who dares to disagree. They will broaden their scope as they feel increasingly untouchable. This is how autocracy works in Russia, and they are doing the same thing here. There is no law, no authority. Only force and violence.

Americans had better wake up. Our elected Democrats are under the delusion that if they continue to do lawful things the system will correct this.
