    “Here in the Pacific north-west, wildfires can [burn] and have burned entire towns to the ground. We count on our brave firefighters, who put their lives on the line, to keep our communities safe – this new Republican policy to detain firefighters on the job is as immoral as it is dangerous,” said Senator Patty Murray, who has represented Washington in the US Senate since 1993.

    “What’s next? Will Trump start detaining immigrant service members? Or will he just maintain his current policy of deporting Purple Heart veterans?”

      Traditionally fascists have turned against those who have helped them seize power. I would assume that eventually Trump will start detaining even ICE. If they were okay with a coup, they might be okay with another one and are therefore enemies of the state.
