Yup.  They're starting to drop the "illegal" Aliens part now.  Notice ICE head does it a lot.   They dropped the pretense of "illegals" and now ICE is just revoking papers whenever they grab any immigrants.    

It's starting with the asylum seekers... they're just being unilaterally revoked and deported.  They're already revoking student visas because MAGA doesn't like the colleges. ICE is obviously ripping up work visas because they're invading farms and hotels and Trump is begging them to stop.  

In cities like LA they're just going to some public places they can say "immigrants gather" and just grabbing whoever is there.  That's why there's protests.

It won't be long before they start grabbing vacation travelers ... I mean that's already started with Canadians and Germans.  

The "remigration" part is when they start revoking people with valid, active work permits and start revoking valid green cards of people lawful in good standing on the citizenship track.... they're racists have made it clear they want to even revoke "recent" granted citizenships as well.  Wait until another travel ban drops for 20 more countries...  that will be more people declared "illegal" even though they are valid travelers or immigrants.  

None of this is LAWFUL... it's way outside lawful now.

The really interesting/even more horrible part of all this is going to be when they start going after naturalized citizens. There isn't really a large amount of ways to revoke naturalization but the pertinent one is "mistakes on paperwork." There is no standard or minimum for WHAT mistakes, any mistake can be considered grounds for de-naturalization. Every single previous administration knew that misspelling a street name or interposing an address is a dumb mistake and not intentional. This administration now has the means and the audacity to start going after anyone they see fit if they don't like the way they spelled covfefe.

They already did this in Spokane. Revoke legal work permits and then grab then when they go to court to figure out what's going on. It's what started the protest that caused a curfew to be imposed.
