Part 3: "The Constitutional Cover" - How Organized Crime Became Government Policy

The

To understand how the United States government became a human trafficking enterprise, we must examine the intellectual and methodological origins of this approach.

After being disbarred in 1986, Cohn relocated to New York and became what was essentially a consigliere to various organized crime families. His specialty was using legal structures and governmental authority to facilitate what were fundamentally criminal enterprises. Cohn's influence on Trump's worldview and approach to power has been well-documented, and his methodologies are now being applied on a massive governmental scale.

The Organized Crime Model Applied

The current deportation system mirrors classic organized crime operations in every significant way:

Traditional Trafficking Operation Elements:

Use of official authority and documentation
International movement of people for profit
Financial transactions per person
Exploitation of vulnerable populations
Corruption of official processes
Plausible deniability through "legal" frameworks
Violence and intimidation to maintain control

Current Government Program Elements:

Federal authority used to move people across borders
Direct payments per person ($6-15 million to El Salvador, $100,000 to Rwanda)
Systematic targeting of vulnerable populations (asylum seekers, children, people with no criminal records)
Forced labor component explicitly acknowledged
Deliberate placement in facilities known for abuse and torture
Legal frameworks designed to eliminate oversight and accountability

Supreme Court Enablement

The most disturbing aspect of this operation is how the current Supreme Court's interpretation of presidential power provides constitutional protection for what would historically be recognized as organized crime.

The Court's Presidential Power Doctrine: Based on recent rulings, particularly Trump v. United States (2024), the Court has established that:

Core constitutional powers receive absolute immunity
Official acts within the "outer perimeter" of presidential duties receive presumptive immunity
The Court shows extreme deference to claims of executive authority

Constitutional Justifications for Trafficking: The Court would likely frame state-sponsored human trafficking as:

Immigration enforcement - A core executive function
Foreign affairs power - Nearly unreviewable by courts
National security - Even transparently pretextual claims receive deference
Law enforcement cooperation - International criminal justice agreements

Justice Sotomayor's Warning

Justice Sonia Sotomayor has explicitly warned about where this leads. In her dissent regarding deportations to third countries, she wrote: "The implication of the Government's position is that not only noncitizens but also United States citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress."

This isn't hyperbole—it's a recognition that the legal frameworks being established could be applied to anyone the government chooses to target.

Historical Precedent for Government-Sponsored Trafficking

The Supreme Court has historically failed to check executive power during periods of claimed crisis, even when that power was used for clearly unconstitutional purposes:

Japanese internment (upheld in Korematsu)
Slavery (protected under various constitutional theories)
Forced sterilization programs (upheld in Buck v. Bell)
Medical experiments on prisoners (conducted with government approval)

The current Court appears even more willing to defer to executive authority than its predecessors.

The Expansion Potential

The infrastructure being created extends far beyond immigration enforcement:

Targeting Mechanisms:

Social media monitoring for "terrorist sympathizers"
University campus surveillance for protest participants
Financial transaction monitoring for "suspicious" activity
AI-driven behavioral analysis for "pre-crime" identification

Detention Infrastructure:

Guantanamo Bay repurposed for mass detention
Private prison expansion funded by Congress
International network of cooperative detention facilities
Military logistics for mass transportation

Legal Framework:

Alien Enemies Act expanded beyond wartime
State secrets privilege to avoid judicial review
International agreements that circumvent constitutional protections
Expedited removal procedures that eliminate due process

The Endgame

What we're witnessing isn't just immigration enforcement—it's the construction of a system that could be used to disappear, exploit, and traffic any population the government deems problematic. The financial incentives, international networks, and legal frameworks being established create a self-sustaining apparatus for state-sponsored human trafficking.

The use of children as test subjects for this system is particularly ominous. If the government can systematically remove children from protective environments, transport them across international borders for profit, and subject them to forced labor with constitutional protection, no population is safe.

What This Means for America

The transformation of the federal government into a human trafficking enterprise represents a fundamental corruption of American institutions. When governmental authority is systematically used to exploit the most vulnerable for profit, with constitutional protection for those crimes, we've crossed a line from which recovery may be impossible.

This isn't about immigration policy—it's about whether the United States will remain a nation governed by law or become a criminal enterprise with a constitutional facade.

The Roy Cohn methodology has been scaled up from individual corruption to institutional transformation. What was once organized crime operating within government has become government operating as organized crime.

The question now is whether the American people will recognize what's happening before it's too late to stop it.

Conclusion

This three-part investigation reveals a systematic transformation of American government institutions into a human trafficking enterprise. From the removal of children from foster homes to the international sale of deportees for forced labor, the Trump administration has created an apparatus that meets every definition of organized human trafficking while claiming constitutional protection for these crimes.

The historical parallels to authoritarian regimes are unmistakable, but the American version has a unique characteristic: it's being constructed with the explicit approval of the Supreme Court and the financial backing of Congress.

Understanding this system is the first step toward dismantling it. The American people must decide whether they will allow their government to become a criminal enterprise or whether they will demand a return to the rule of law.
