The Nuremberg Laws legally revoked citizenship from German Jews and legally classified them as national enemies. Some of the first Jews sent to concentration camps were those who *violated the law* against marrying ethnic Germans. A government can decide what is against the law. And before the concentration camps, the German government was primarily interested in deporting (such as with the polish jews) or encouraging emigration of Jewish people.

And, several of the people targeted by the Trump administration have been legal immigrants who were either mistakenly deported (Kilmar Abrego Garcia) or who expressed political opinions he didn’t like (Mahmoud Khalil and several others).

The very first mass expulsion of Jews from Germany was legal, under a law that approved deportation of any foreigner who had lost their citizenship from their home country (polish jews). The creation of ghettos was legal. The revoking of Jewish citizenship from Germany was legal. The initial attempts at deporting German Jews were legal. The Holocaust was started when the Nazis decided mass deportation wasn’t working.

I mean he’s already sending people to mega-prisons in El Salvador known for torturing people without trial, is building a detention facility in Guantanamo where oversight is near impossible, and has said that illegal immigrants are bringing “bad genes” into our country. I don’t think he is planning to exterminate illegal immigrants if anything because execution of that plan would be nearly impossible. But we are not far off from where the Nazis started, and where we are now is bad regardless

But nobody thought the Nazis were going to do what they did. All they were seemingly doing was deporting undesirable non-citizens and imprisoning sex criminals (people who did pedophilia and bestiality, but also those who were homosexuals or race-mixers). But it didn’t stop there.
