Opinion: Trump’s AmeriKKKA is becoming a dangerous place

“(5) Limitations on Relief From Removal a. No entitlement to hearings, appeals, or judicial review of removal order An alien determined to be an Alien Enemy and ordered removed under the Proclamation and 50 U.S.C. § 21 is not entitled to a hearing before an immigration judge, to an appeal of the removal order to the Board of immigration Appeals, or to judicial review of the removal order in any court of the United States. b. Ineligibility for relief or protection from removal An alien determined to be an Alien Enemy under the Proclamation and 50 U.S.C. § 21 shall be ineligible for any relief or protection from removal.” (Department of Justice – ‘Memorandum for Law Enforcement – Guidance of Implementing the Aliens Enemies Act, 14.03.2025).

If you ever wonder where the Attorney General Pam Bondi and Trump Administration is taking the nation. The Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security and other Security Entities are showing the way. As it doesn’t adhere to Supreme Court judgments or other Courts, which differs from the Trump agenda or policies. As if the judges can make things up and doesn’t have to follow the law when they determine the verdict in their cases.

Alas, therein is the problem. The President and His Attorney General are clear now. We are seeing a vivid picture of the erosion of rule of law and a state built on principles of “innocent until proven guilty”. As the state is now vindicating itself and can easily access people without warrants, proper justification or due process. That’s what the MEMO says and it was written with intent for the ICE officers and other law enforcement to use as a shield to defend their actions. This isn’t even clever, but shows the sinister acts of the United States government at the moment.

“For purposes of this guidance memorandum, an “Alien Enemy” under the Proclamation and 50 U.S.C. § 21 is a person who is: (1) fourteen years of age or older; (2) not a citizen or lawful permanent resident of the United States; (3) a citizen of Venezuela; and (4) a member of the hostile enemy Tren de Aragua, as determined by reference to Form AEA-21A, titled, “Alien Enemies Act: Alien Enemy Validation Guide,” attached to this memorandum” (Department of Justice – ‘Memorandum for Law Enforcement – Guidance of Implementing the Aliens Enemies Act, 14.03.2025).

This MEMO is dangerous and will be used. It is wilfully so, as people are taken and they are detained without due process. People are deported and taken into custody in El Salvador. That’s what the ICE and the State is doing. Citizens of the Republic is apprehended, kept in custody and deported without due process. That’s done with neglect of the law and the rights of the civilians to prove their case and the merits of it.

By law, the state can call someone an “illegal alien” and now just send them away. The state can by the acts of the memo just take people’s liberties away and throw away the key. That’s what is the worry here. There is no burden of proof or need of evidence. The Law Enforcement Officers can just make a short assessment and take them in. That can be done without any proper works or sort of investigation that has to be tested in the courts. No, there is no need for that and the “illegal alien” doesn’t the rights for it. Alas, if you are ever deemed an “illegal alien” in the U.S., you are properly screwed and have no future. The prisons of El Salvador or elsewhere will become your home.

This is Trump’s AmeriKKKA and it shows. The future isn’t great, but the past glories of other tyrannies are coming to America. They don’t even know it, but it is within their homes, villages and towns now. The state is coming and they don’t even have to prove their allegations. They can just make it up and silence whoever they deem fit. Peace.

Opinion: Tororo becomes the gerrymandering capital ahead of 2026

“Tororo leaders have reached a consensus to elevate Tororo Municipality to city status and creation of two districts marking a significant milestone in resolving the administrative structure of the district. This decision was made during a high-level meeting with Vice President Jesca Alupo, on Tuesday, 22nd April, 2025 at her office in Kampala where leaders from Tororo County and West Budama agreed to use the municipality’s current boundaries for the new city. The Vice President proposed creating three administrative units: a city for Tororo Municipality, one district for Tororo County, and another for West Budama” (Henry Okello – ‘NEW DAWN! Tororo Leaders Resolve on Tororo Municipality City Status, New Districts’ 23.04.2025, East News Uganda).

Another election, another creation of and carving out districts. This play is getting old. Just like the old man with the hat. The play that is played here has been done for ages. That’s why the nation has so plenty of districts, sub-counties and parishes. The amount has skyrocketed and the amounts has also become vast. In such a fashion that everyone cannot participate in the Plenary Sessions either. That’s just the issues of the MPs sitting and doing their job. Not the costs, the burden and even the standard each district is supposed to have.

The National Resistance Movement (NRM) have no fiscal responsibility or idea of fiscal discipline. That is their way and passion to spend money they don’t have on unfulfilled promises. These created districts will lack everything and lack the standards that are there by law. That what happens every time. The only thing they will have is National Representation and elected officials, but not the service delivery or even the components of a running district. That will come long after and the government won’t have the funds to carry the newly acquired expenditure. This sort of cycle we have seen repeatedly.

The NRM and President Museveni don’t mind. His getting easy bought allies and he gave them practically nothing. They are getting smokes and mirrors. The Electoral Commission and the ones making the elections would have new created districts and constituencies. Therefore, it is easier to erase history or voting patterns. As the civilians are shifted and under new entities. That’s just a gift to riggers and to the ones who will-fully toys around numbers.

This is just the practice of gerrymandering and adding more deficit financing. As the state has to cover the deficit and find the funds to operate these district. That will also add more stress and more costs in general. It is by definition a fools enterprise. As it isn’t giving the public anything or really getting the government closer. It is only ensuring a loyal individual is voted in or several to secure the majority of the President. That is the game here and the citizens of Tororo are the ones believing in the game. They are in for a reckoning and this will only give them more headaches, as the state isn’t prepared or has anticipated the needs of these districts. Those funds won’t be there and we all know it.

This was just done for 2026 and for the new “silent” majority of the NRM. Peace.
