How would you translate this in a metaphorical sense? E.g., "His crazy ideas had a vice grip on the minds of the cult." or "Trump is tightening his brutal political vise grip on American society." I am translating an article on Trump and the coronavirus pandemic which focuses on how the virus is endangering the lives of immigrants in America's detention centers/concentration camps. The title includes this phrase: From Vise Grip to Death Grip.
The target audience is Spanish-language readers from many different countries, mainly immigrants in the USA, many from Mexico, though also from elsewhere.
