Washington Post first reported these plans from a draft solicitation from ICE to contractors. These converted warehouses, which reportedly will be located in Virginia, Texas, Louisiana, Arizona, Georgia, and Missouri, will hold up to 80,000 migrants. According to the Post, ICE plans to share the draft solicitation with private detention companies to gauge interest and refine its plans before formally requesting bids.
The acting director of ICE, Todd Lyons, said in April that President Donald Trump’s administration’s goal is to deport immigrants with the efficiency of Amazon packages. He said, “Like Prime, but with human beings.” At the beginning of December, ICE had more than 68,000 migrants in detention, with 48% of those people having no criminal convictions or pending criminal charges, according to the Post.
Remember “Obama and Biden put people in cages!”? Well now it’s our guy doing it so it’s ok.
It’s more in how they define different groups as “people” or not, and the Republican party has spent a LOT of time, effort, and money “othering” a LOT of people.
yeah, demoncrats would have done it way worser
