Newly Flush With Cash, ICE Races to Build Migrant Tent Camps​

GOP megabill allocates $45 billion for detention, giving administration hope it can speed up deportation efforts​

“… So far, the plans have given priority to erecting thousands of tents, or “hardened soft-sided facilities,” as quickly as possible to expand detention capacity quickly at U.S. military bases and adjoining bricks-and-mortar ICE jails, the documents show. Officials said they prefer this approach for now because it allows them to create large numbers of new beds concentrated in a few locations, rather than finding smaller numbers of jail cells scattered around the country.

… The first of the priorities listed in the documents is a 5,000-bed tent city at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas, which the government previously awarded and rescinded. It was awarded this past week to a different company, and the plans indicate ICE hopes to have it operational by August. Other priorities include adding beds at the Hudson Correctional Facility in Colorado; Camp Atterbury in Indiana; and Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in New Jersey.…”

“… Noem told reporters earlier in July that talks were under way with five Republican-led states to build state-run detention centers like the one in Florida, without providing details. The Journal contacted the offices of all 27 Republican governors. None of the 14 that responded said such talks were under way, though several emphasized that they are eager to help the Trump administration in any way they can. A spokesman for West Virginia said the state’s efforts to do that could include “the possibility of creating a type of Alligator Alcatraz here in the Mountain State.”…”

The approaches may be different, but clearly Obama was not looking only at criminals when he was considering who was to be deported.

Nor did he invalidate federal immigration law by executive order or bypass fundamental due process rights to deport any undocumented immigrants, whether criminals or not. As you are well aware, ALL presidents have deported undocumented immigrants. Biden deported over 270,000 in 2024 alone. There's a legal way to do it and an illegal way to do it. Only Trump has chosen the illegal way.

I read this as something like We’re going to endanger innocent people to chase down a few landscapers and whatever else is needed to spur honest anger that we can foment into rage and protests and eventually get some federal agents killed so we can move to phase two.
 


“… He was on his way to wash a car when he glanced up and saw co-workers sprinting off. A woman frantically motioned for him to flee. His heart raced as he tried to find the source of their alarm.

Confused and frightened, Javier Diaz Santana jumped over the wall behind the car wash in the San Gabriel Valley.

… Breathless, Diaz stopped. One of the vehicles pulled over, blocking his way. Masked, armed men exited, yelling. He tried to understand. He couldn’t see a badge. One had a vest with the letters “HSI” — Homeland Security Investigations, an arm within ICE.

One seemed to be demanding something. Diaz gestured at his ears.

He could not hear. And he couldn’t speak.

Diaz, 32, is deaf and mute.

He thought that presenting his Real ID driver’s license would keep him safe. He has legal permission to be here. He came to the U.S. from Mexico when he was about 5 years old and had been granted permission to work more than a decade ago under the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. He has no criminal history.

He took his wallet from his pocket. An agent grabbed it and wouldn’t give it back.

Diaz took out his phone so he could type a message about his disability. They took that too. Then they cuffed his hands and shoved him into the SUV. He had no way to communicate.…”
