What amazes me about MAGA is that some claim to like Star Trek.

This is from "Way of the Warrior", when the dominion had managed to con the Klingons into invading Cardassia.

KAYBOK [on viewscreen]: We have orders to search all vessels attempting to leave Bajoran space.

KIRA: Search them for what?

KAYBOK [on viewscreen]: For shape-shifters. Each ship will be scanned, its cargo searched, and its crewmembers and passengers subjected to genetic testing.

SISKO: On whose authority?

KAYBOK [on viewscreen]: On the authority of Gowron and the Klingon High Council.

KIRA: The Klingon High Council has no jurisdiction over ships in Bajoran space.

KAYBOK [on viewscreen]: We assumed you would welcome our assistance.

SISKO: Do you have any evidence that there are changelings aboard this particular ship?

KAYBOK [on viewscreen]: How can we have evidence until we conduct our tests?

KIRA: Commander, Bajoran law strictly prohibits any unwarranted search and seizure of vessels in our territory.

KAYBOK [on viewscreen]: I have my orders.

Compared to

ICE: We have orders to search all people attempting to live in America

Search them for what?

ICE: For illegal immigrants. Each center will be scanned, it's users searched, and their finances and medical history subjected to AI pattern recognition

On whose authority?

ICE: On the authority of Trump and the Federal Government

Trump has no jurisdiction over people in Minnesota

ICE: We assumed you would welcome our assistance.

Do you have any evidence that there are illegal immigrants in this particular learning center?

ICE: How can we have evidence until we conduct our tests?

The Constitution strictly prohibits any unwarranted search and seizure of vessels

ICE: I have my orders.

*Technically this point in the episode it was after the Dominion/Russia interference with the high placed Dominion/Russian asset, but before the Klingons/America invaded Cardassia/Greenland.
