30. Every dictator has his private army

The point is to gather the unemployed, left behind people in large part, and set them loose with their personal grudges, good pay and the desire to do what they want. All of a sudden they have power and become important.
China had the Red Army and Germany had the Brown Shirts. Eastern European countries had their own variety.

Right now ICE is operating with a so-called mission but it will soon morph into a criminal gang. They will make money with drugs, human trafficking, murder, etc., as has been done in other countries. The point is to make a society live under threat at all times.
