Leave the US. If you have expertise you'll be easily welcomed into most countries, if not, there is are a lot of countries you can still move to that are not police states. Either way you'll stop paying/supporting and supporting US fascism with your work. The immigrants your government is so eager to deport have been through worse.
Don't leave. It solves nothing and allows growth of tyranny. Fight back.

No, but there will be a war front that you can position yourself on the not-scum side of.
As if any cops would even attempt to stop them instead of joining in. Calling the police is just giving them backup.
There are too few places to escape to in modern society, given the rise of authoritarian globally. I was planning on Germany until the Russia/Ukraine conflict. Now I find it more prudent to stay in the U.S. and relocate to a low population area. For the handful of dense urban environments in the U.S. there are far more wide open spaces with no people.

Too late for that now..they'll just take all your money, house, claim you're not a citizen, force you to work for 1/256th of that you earn now and keep the bribe from companies that bought you.
Well either choice leads to imprisonment of some type so I’ll go out blasting rather than perpetuate it

Then your government will acquire yet more debt. And if everything crumbles down for them, there will be your offspring paying for that debt and their taxes for generations.
I don't know what's worse, honestly. I just know everyone needs to fight back and resist, and they'll get exhausted fighting everywhere in the world. But it they don't have to fight, they'll just keep doing their shit.
This shit can’t be bankrolled any more. I personally didn’t have offspring because the future is far too bleak to even dream of subjecting another human being to what’s to come. Yeah, we need to start fighting and needed to quite some time ago.

That means this is their new military.
Pretty clever if you think if it. They don't try to convince their current one but build one up besides them while starving them of their resources.
Building a paramilitary beholden to Party-aligned officials as a stopgap until the Party seizes total control of the actual military is boilerplate fascism.
EDIT: And when they do seize control the military, it usually doesn't end well for the paramilitary.

It does seem a lot like Schutzstaffel. They’ll need their very own Stasi too.

There's no way they need all those people and resources if they're only going after illegal immigrants. They're going to start disappearing their other targets too. People of Colour, Democrats, LGBTQ, scientists. Get in line. I hope you're ready for what we know is coming.
First they came for the immigrants...
It'll be trans people first. Then gays. Eventually blacks. Then democrats.

Daily reminder to all ICE agents. By signing up for ICE, you have signed yourself up for a lifetime of fear and criminal liability. There are Nazi concentration camp guards that were tried for their crimes in their 90s. There is no statute of limitations on crimes against humanity. Your names are recorded; your deeds are known. And you will face justice for your crimes. And do not count on a blanket pardon saving you. Crimes against humanity are violations of international law that cannot be pardoned.
surely this neck gaiter will protect me from consequences

Its incredible what people will support with actual money and loss of freedom if they are sold racist lies
Honest question: why couldn’t the bill be repealed if Dems win the house and senate at midterms?
If Democrats win the House and Senate at midterms and have a veto proof majority in the Senate (EDIT: or House), then yeah, maybe they could pass a new bill that repeals all these things.
If they don't have a veto proof majority, then Trump will just veto it.
(My bad, I had forgotten that it's possible for the House to cancel a presidential veto with a large enough majority also)
The Federal budget is passed annually, and all spending bills must originate in the House.
