LOADING ERROR LOADINGWASHINGTON – Not quite a full year since his return to the White House, Donald Trump has created a de facto “papers please” secret police force evocative of autocracies past, which he is now using to terrorize cities where he is unpopular, experts warn. “Trump has created his own police force,” said Jason Stanley, an American studies professor at the University of Toronto and a scholar of fascism. On Jan. 7, a 37-year-old woman was fatally shot in the face three times when ICE agents escalated a traffic dispute. Miller likewise did not respond to queries, and Trump’s White House press office, rather than respond to the questions HuffPost asked, blamed Democrats for criticizing ICE. On Monday afternoon, ICE officers ran into a South Minneapolis man’s Subaru, then demanded he show ID.
