Abstract

The article focuses on drawing parallels between Donald Trump's governance and Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship in Chile as a way to understand the erosion of democratic norms in the U.S. Topics include the transformation of ICE into an unaccountable enforcement tool, the Catholic Church's response to immigration crackdowns, and the role of documentation and solidarity in resisting authoritarian practices.
