Newark mayor Ras Baraka was arrested by ICE agents outside a detention center last week .

Julian Zelizer: America ’s immigration system was a landmine, and Trump set it off.

He says Congress gave him all the tools to fuel his mass deportations.

Zelizer says the system of checks and balances only matters if we all agree that it matters.

Trump has expressed interest in deporting US citizens, saying he was open to the idea of sending “homegrown criminals” to CECOT, the prison in El Salvador to which DHS deported Venezuelan migrants under the Alien Enemies Act .

Julian Zelizer : These new shows of force are still alarming signs that the Trump administration is willing to use the immigration system to go after anyone he deems a threat or enemy.
