You first gather the data while people don't know or care. Then you weaponize it later. It happened at least once not long ago in another country, seems not overreaction to be concerned about it

It happened a year ago in this country, with IRS sharing data with ICE (breaking a longstanding policy of keeping taxpayer data private within the government).
If this is a Nazi reference, Census data was used to send people to concentration camps here during the same era. Less awful than death camps, at least.

We easily could exceed their atrocities, because our modern capacities for inflicting harm are better, faster, and cheaper.
That's a very strong statement. I'm absolutely no fan of ICE or indefinite detention of people based on where they were born, but I'm not sure we have camps where we're committing genocide in the states. Nor do I see that in our future.
