Stasi did not execute people in broad daylight. Comparing the Stasi (intelligence services of Socialist Germany) to the Gestapo (agency instrumental to millions of exterminations in genocide) is insulting.

both are a bad comparison for ICE, which is much more like the SA: low-level thugs used to intimidate the opposition and steal elections, to be discarded and replaced the moment they're no longer needed

Nobody cares if Stasi are whingy about imperfect allusions. 🖕🏽 Both groups deserve lead sentences, full stop.
