The capture of law enforcement is the penultimate step in ending American democracy.

Mike Brock describes the systematic use of manufactured evidence and ongoing capture and repurposing of law enforcement: https://www.notesfromthecircus.com/p/the-reactionary-coup-of-america-continues

The Trump administration has moved beyond isolated corruption to the systematic manufacture of evidence as standard operating procedure. Whistleblower emails show government officials explicitly asking “Can we say this guy is a leader of MS-13?” before having any evidence to support the claim. When they continue calling someone a terrorist after their own investigators find no proof of gang membership, when they fire career prosecutors for demanding adherence to facts and law—we’re looking at a regime that is systematically abandoning the rule of law.

The Kilmar Abrego Garcia case reveals how this corruption operates. Whistleblower emails show Trump administration officials desperately searching for evidence to justify calling Abrego Garcia an MS-13 “leader” after they had already made the claim. When ICE investigators responded “I have not found anything indicating ‘leader,’ but I’ll keep looking,” the administration simply ignored the lack of evidence and continued the propaganda campaign. When Justice Department lawyer Erez Reuveni refused to sign legal briefs without evidentiary support, he was fired for “failing to zealously advocate on behalf of the United States.”

But the most revealing aspect demonstrates how rapidly the justice system is being captured. Emil Bove, the Trump loyalist who allegedly ordered DOJ attorneys to tell courts “f*** you” when they demanded compliance with judicial orders, has been confirmed to a lifetime appointment as a federal appeals court judge. Text messages between Justice Department officials explicitly reference Bove’s alleged directive to defy court orders, yet Senator Thom Tillis—the swing vote on the Judiciary Committee—casually announced he would support the nomination based on his “staff recommendation.”

The systematic manufacture of evidence is becoming the new operating principle of American law enforcement. This transformation accelerates with each confirmation, each dismissal, each manufactured case. The question is whether we will acknowledge this reality and respond before the capture becomes irreversible.

When the DOJ, the military, the masked secret police (ICE) and local law enforcement become instruments of executive orders only one step to full dictatorship remains: rigged elections

Edit: Brock incorrectly (at this time) describes Bove's appointment as confirmed.
