To kick off the new year, The Atlantic published a piece warning that Stephen Miller, the most racist member of the Trump administration, would be back if Donald Trump were reelected, and we'd see the largest deportation effort in American history. We're already voting for Trump if he's the nominee … you don't have to sell us on him.

Axios too is sounding the warning that Trump is coming right out with his plans for a second term.

Deport illegals instead of giving them an asylum hearing court date in 2035? Target Mexican drug cartels? Oh my!

Mike Allen and Jim VandeHei report on Trump's likely cabinet:

Former President Trump, if elected, would build a Cabinet and White House staff based mainly on two imperatives: pre-vetted loyalty to him and a commitment to stretch legal and governance boundaries, sources who talk often with the leading GOP presidential candidate tell Axios.

Why it matters: Trump would fill the most powerful jobs in government with men like Stephen Miller, Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio and Kash Patel — with the possible return of Steve Bannon. If Trump won in 2024, he'd turn to loyalists who share his zeal to punish critics, purge non-believers, and take controversial legal and military action, the sources tell us.

Trump and his prospective top officials don't mince words about their plans:

They want to target and jail critics, including government officials and journalists; deport undocumented immigrants or put them in detainment camps, and unleash the military to target drug cartels in Mexico, or possibly crack down on criminals or protesters at home.

The two provide links to all of those plans except for targeting and jailing critics. Wonder why?

We really need to know more about this jailing "critics" thing. Who are we talking about when we talk about critics? Be specific.
