I don't think this horrifying January 20th article on Popular Information broke into the mainstream media much at the time, but given the news that the Trump regime is turbocharging its efforts to build concentration camps out of warehouses and military bases all around the country, it probably should have. In the simplest possible terms, ICE is now denying medical coverage to thousands of detainees, and regardless of the reasons why that is happening (more below) this depraved indifference to human life inside what we have already established are concentration camps, is eerily reminiscent of the process that lead the actual Nazi Reich in Germany to conduct the Holocaust. https://popular.info/p/ice-has-stopped-paying-for-detainee ICE has stopped paying for detainee medical treatment "Under the law, ICE is required to provide necessary medical care for this population. While ICE employs some of its own medical staff, it often uses third-party providers. ICE’s Buffalo Federal Detention Facility, for example, houses over 500 detainees and has no doctor or dentist on staff. ICE, however, has not paid any third-party providers for medical care for detainees since October 3, 2025. Last week, ICE posted a notice on an obscure government website announcing it will not begin processing such claims until at least April 30, 2026. Until then, medical providers are instructed “to hold all claims submissions.” ICE’s failure to pay its bills for months has caused some medical providers to deny services to ICE detainees, an administration source, who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the press, told Popular Information. In other cases, detainees have allegedly been denied essential medical care by ICE." If you read the entire story, you'll discover that this situation likely arose out of another manufactured outrage promoted by fascists both inside and outside the GOP; specifically the idea that having Veteran Affairs process medical services claims for ICE (which ICE paid them for in full) amounted to "robbing veterans to pay off" migrants. That is however not exculpatory for either ICE or the larger Trump administration, because deciding to stuff people into concentration camps and then refusing to provide them necessary, in some cases even life-saving medical care, because of a manufactured political scandal, is still deciding to lock people in concentration camps and let them fucking die. To paraphrase Toni Morrison, the reason the Nazis called what we now know as the Holocaust, the "final solution" is because they tried a bunch of other things before that to solve the "problem" of Jewish people existing inside Nazi-controlled territory. One of those "solutions" was absolutely purposely making life in the concentration and labor camps impossible to sustain - in other words, murdering Jewish people and other folks inside the camps through intentional neglect. I'm pretty sure it's not any sort of accident at all, that Trump, Miller, Noem and other assorted literal fucking white supremacist nazis in this administration and the larger Homeland Security aparatus, are copying from Hitler and Himmler's most evil playbook. #Fascism #ConcentrationCamps #ICE #Murder #Trump #GOP #KristiNoem #StephenMiller #FinalSolution #MurderByNeglect

Yeah, I did not stutter. While I was away, news emerged that the US government is spending potentially billions of dollars to buy up warehouses all around the country and transform them into concentration camps. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2026-01-29/us-spends-hundreds-of-millions-on-warehouses-for-ice-detention-centers ICE Begins Buying ‘Mega’ Warehouse Detention Centers Across US "The 23 proposed sites would range in size from 500 to 9,500 beds. If completed as planned, the larger facilities would be some of the biggest detention centers of any kind in the country. For example, the 9,500-bed facility ICE is planning for Hutchins, Texas, could fit the entire average daily jail population of Dallas County with thousands of beds to spare. In recent weeks the federal government has given tours of potential sites in more than 20 cities to contractors and shared with them the designs, including preferred layouts, for at least 15 of the sites, according to people familiar with the confidential process. Contractors — the ones who will turn these warehouses into jails — were required to send in their proposals for the first sites this week, starting with Hagerstown, according to those sources. To reach its goal of deporting 1 million people a year, the Trump administration has said it needs more than 100,000 detention beds. Currently, there are more than 73,000 people in ICE custody, a record. The new sites could give the agency an additional 76,500 beds, according to documents shared with Bloomberg News. To fill all of them, the administration would have to expand immigration arrests beyond what it is already doing, said Emma Winger, deputy legal director at the American Immigration Council. “To reach these kinds of numbers, they’d need to go out into the communities and find people who’ve been living their lives and been here a long time,” Winger said. “They’d have to dramatically increase their presence in communities across the country.” It's unfortunate that I don't have more time to go over this article with you. It's pretty rare that I find myself admiring a piece published in Bloomberg, but this is actually a really in-depth look at the way Trump's mass deportation agenda can't be established without what amounts to a nation-wide network of concentration camps, and those camps are threatening and harmful to both migrants and American citizens, regardless of their political affiliation. Like most mainstream corporate outlets covering the Trump regime's ethnic cleansing program however, they're still far too focused on this merely being a waste of astronomical amounts of taxpayer money. It certainly is, but again, I think the fact that they're building concentration camps out of former online retail distribution warehouses as part of an ethnonationalist project to reshape America according to Stephen Miller and Trump's whims would be a major crisis and a crime against humanity even if they were doing it for free. Maybe that's just me. What Bloomberg does provide the space to stress however, is that you don't build this many concentration camps unless you're planning to lock up a lot more people than the Gestpo is currently detaining; which in turn means that far from backing down in Minneapolis, the Trump regime is clearly headed towards a lot more operations just like it. Where the mainstream corporate media always falls down however, is in forgetting that concentration camps for migrants, can just as easily be concentration camps for anyone the Trump regime wants to dispose of for any reason at all. One simple review of Trump's National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM-7) makes it pretty clear that Trump and his Gestapo have spaces in camps lined up for "terrorists" who oppose his absolute rule over a fascist America. #Fascism #Trump #StephenMiller #ICE #ConcentrationCamps #DHS #Warehouses #NSPM7 #EthnicCleansing #Gestapo #WhiteNationalism

It's about cruelty, hostility, plain meanness, wrapped up in bible verses. It's about a rancid, twisted perversion of Christianity that has no gospel, no grace, and certainly no Jesus in it. #Trump #StephenMiller #immigrants #EthnicCleansing #deportations #detention #warehouses #EthnicCleansing #ProLife #ChristianNationalism #cruelty /10

Heather Cox Richardson looks at Stephen Miller's "call for a 'labor class' excluded from citizenship and a voice in government" and explores its close parallels to the call of slaveholding elites in the US prior to the Civil War to defend slavery and uphold a hierarchical, male-dominated white Christian society in which some people have rights and humanity and others are excluded. #StephenMiller #slavery #immigrants /1 https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/january-31-2026

#stephenmiller #AlexPretti #ice #Minneapolis Yep , Miller is throwing the agents who executed Alex Pretti under the bus ; “ White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller told ABC News that officials are "evaluating" why Customs and Border Protection agents in Minneapolis “may not have been following” protocol in the events that led to the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis on Saturday.” https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/federal-agents-in-minneapolis-may-not-have-been-following-protocol-stephen-miller/ar-AA1Vck6I

"In law enforcement departments across the country, badge numbers are visible on uniforms precisely so that when force is used, especially lethal force, the public can know who was involved. That transparency is not a nicety. It is a safeguard." #AlexPretti #Trump #KristiNoem #StephenMiller #CBP #ICE #murder #execution #accountability /18

"In Minneapolis, we watched a man die in front of the world, and yet we still do not know who pulled the trigger. Not by name. Not by badge. Not by face. Not by the accountability that is supposed to define a democratic society." ~ Dina Doll #AlexPretti #Trump #KristiNoem #StephenMiller #CBP #ICE #murder #execution #accountability /17 https://www.meidasplus.com/p/release-their-names

The big question: Why would a highly placed US general be tweeting it out repeatedly? And who would so many armchair warriors immediately glom onto it to declare that it vindicates the Trump regime when it claims that Pretti's execution was caused by his pulling a gun? The bigger question: how to build a sane society when many of us are so addicted to toxic lies that we refuse to see truth in front of our eyes? #AlexPretti #ReneeGood #Trump #StephenMiller #KristiNoem #murder #execution /5

As PolitiFact notes, "A viral image of Minneapolis resident Alex Pretti was manipulated with Google’s artificial intelligence tool, Gemini. Clues it’s not an authentic photo: One officer is missing his head, and the hands and fingers of Pretti and the agents are distorted." With all the actual footage available for us to see, many of us knew, of course, immediately that this was a bogus image. #AlexPretti #ReneeGood #Trump #StephenMiller #KristiNoem #murder #execution /4

Stoehr notes that the doctored, false AI image was tweeted repeatedly by General Tony Thomas, once head of Special Operations Command. It then went viral on social media. Yesterday, PolitiFact released a statement: "We rate claims the image shared on X is a real photo of Pretti False." #AlexPretti #ReneeGood #Trump #StephenMiller #KristiNoem #murder #execution /3 https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2026/jan/27/tweets/Image-AI-Minneapolis-Alex-Pretti-Immigration/

"Renee Good was shot in the face. Alex Pretti was shot in the back. Their deaths were not accidental. They were not the result of poor or insufficient training. They were the result of intent. Why are moderates worried about seeming extreme when the context is murder by the state? In that setting, there’s no such thing as an overreaction." ~ John Stoehr #AlexPretti #ReneeGood #Trump #StephenMiller #KristiNoem #murder #execution /1 https://www.editorialboard.com/moderate-democrats-worry-about-overreacting-the-real-danger-is-underreacting/

Stoehr features a doctored AI-produced image of Pretti immediately before Trump's masked thugs shot him repeatedly in the back. The image appears to show Pretti pulling his gun — though actual footage of what happened, from repeated angles, shows that this did not ever happen and his gun was taken away before he was murdered. He never touched the gun. #AlexPretti #ReneeGood #Trump #StephenMiller #KristiNoem #murder #execution #AI /2

@KimPerales@toad.social isn't this called "Incitement to commit violence" or something? #StephenMiller #fascistUSA #trumpfascism #ICE
