    MAGA is also quietly building a 30,000 bed facility in Guantanamo Bay right now, that isn’t being covered in the media. Clearly they intend to lock up a lot of people far away from relatives, lawyers, the courts, and the media. If they are intending on deporting undocumented people to other countries, who do they intend to hold at Gitmo? People they CAN’T deport? Like American Citizens?

    For context, the average maximum security prison holds 800-1200. The largest, in Angola, LA, holds about 8300. So this new facility hold almost 4 times more than the largest prison, and many times more than the average. Gitmo currently has a capacity for about 300 people. Again, who do they intend on keeping there?

    It should also be noted that a few years down the line, when they’ve finished rounding up the majority of their immigrant boogymen, what are they going to do with this giant federal death squad agency, and their giant detainment facilities? Just disband the predators, and tear down their prisons? Or will they just identify a new “enemy?”

    We all know the answer to that.

    The fuck? They’re building (soon to be) death camps and the headline is ‘Not in my backyard’. This is what an unfree press looks like.

      Nah, that’s America. Children as young as five and two years old, some sick and all without parents, have been abducted for months all over the US and all comments were mostly about hurrdurr-conservative-values. Things only got really heated when two white people got shot. People are only in it for themselves.

    Not in anyway trying to say it would be justified even if he was only planning to put immigrants in warehouses, but just so we’re on the same page… we all know it’s not just going to be immigrants he’s putting into these warehouses, right?

    Just want to make sure we don’t waste another year hearing people say “They won’t do that because this is America, and American citizens have rights.” These people give exactly the same number of fucks about your rights as they do about America. Zero.

    While the jobless, homeless masses wither and die. Imagine how much we could do to alleviate poverty and starvation with that money. Such an awful waste of space and funding.

    This is GREAT because ICE Agents are NOT Known Criminals, Child Molesters, and Murderers and they ALWAYS Follow the LAW and are kept ACCOUNTABLE by the Courts!

    They came to Kansas City to look at one and right after the left, the city changed the zoning laws. Fuck yeah.

    Theres still some controversy about if a developer in the area will sell it to the Feds, but the city is trying to fight back.
