I take unbadged “police” pushing civilians into unmarked vans very seriously. And quite personally. Yes, I will tell you what I think of the feds Trump is deploying but first:

In March 1976, while living in Buenos Aires, I was scooped off the crowded sidewalk of the city’s legendary Avenida Corrientes in broad daylight, just a week after President Isabel Peron was overthrown and replaced by a fascist military dictatorship.

The operatives who grabbed me, at random (fortunately I was not on any “kill list”), wore civilian clothes, one of them flashed some sort of badge, and they pushed me into the back seat of an unmarked car with no license plates. Though, it was a green Ford Falcon, the signature vehicle of the AAA death squads so I knew immediately who my captors were. Not so coincidentally, Falcons were also the fleet car of the Federal Police – with whom the death squads were deeply interwoven.
