"Early next week, we will find out exactly what 'mass deportation' means to Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, and the gang."

Carrasquillo interviews seven immigrant experts about what they see coming, and how they are advising migrants to deal with what may be coming, as members of Trump's team including his proposed border czar Tom Homan promise immediate "shock and awe."

Jim Stewartson reminds us of the witness of German pastor Martin Niemöller, whose famous poem about those who refused to stand up to the Nazis and speak out against their inhumanity is now a classic.

As Stewartson notes, Niemöller supported the Nazis and welcomed Hitler as a strong, manly savior figure appointed by God, until Hitler began to try to take over the German Protestant church. Then Niemöller spoke out and was sent to Dachau.
