The Trump Administration Is About to Incinerate 500 Tons of Emergency Food Federal workers warned for months that the high-energy biscuits would go to waste.

That is just plain wrong. They have become donOld's personal police force. And yes, they are his Gestapo. They act like the Gestapo of old. They have earned that sobriquet.

The US is not alone in integrating digital surveillance into border security. China has implemented social credit systems. And the United Kingdom is exploring digital ID systems for immigration control. There are even calls for Australia to use artificial intelligence to facilitate digital border checks.
