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

"The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit released a hastily decided ruling on Friday night, obliterating a key understanding of federal immigration law just three days after arguments in the case and giving the Trump administration a powerful tool — for now — to enact mass detentions as part of its mass-deportation program." ~ Chris Geidner #Trump #DHS #ICE #immigrants #deportation #detention #warehouses #FifthCircuit #EthnicCleansing /1 https://www.lawdork.com/p/fifth-circuit-immigration-detention-ruling
