'Right now, Metro Homicide is targeting a certain type of "undesirable", namely, alleged murderers, and appears to have carte blanche to apprehend anyone who disrupts that process.'
Before you invoke "just following orders", you need to establish that some atrocity was actually being committed. If your objection is that immigration agents are targeting alleged illegal immigrants for apprehension and that they arrest people who interfere with that, you haven't.

The Second Amendment is no longer of interest to the Supreme Court and blue states are free to ban the most popular rifle in the nation without Court interference.

If a parent can veto the decision to abort, they would presumable also be able to veto the decision to have the baby.
That is certainly not true. That authority to forbid is not the authority to require.

Or maybe administrations should not try to bind their successors by extralegal means, because the fact that it is difficult is a feature not a bug.
I don't agree that the Trump administration is engaged in unusual thuggishness, but whether they are or they aren't, they shouldn't.

War is going to be as quick and painless as running an algorithm.
There's a Star Trek episode about that ("A Taste of Armageddon"). It didn't turn out well.

The US system is also first past the post.

Israel is generally considered to be a US client state even more than Ukraine
Except by the US dissident right who sees the US-Israel relationship the other way around.
But there's obviously a close relationship between the US and Israel and if it doesn't extend to being an actual bellicose ally against Iran, it's the next best thing. Public opinion isn't wrong on that.

introduce the first secret police force in the history of the United States?
Certainly not. If nobody did it earlier, J. Edgar Hoover did it with parts of the FBI.

For a system to last young people have to be able out maneuver the old. First past the post makes this hard.
And yet there's several lasting first-past-the-post systems, including the UK parliament which has certainly lasted longer than the German one.
3) What now? The left has CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, NPR, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, etc. You know, the "mainstream media".
