President Donald Trump’s anti-immigration agenda has supercharged opposition in cities where he has deployed federal agents to conduct raids, and communities in states including New York and Missouri are already working to block the next step the Department of Homeland Security plans to take in its push for mass deportations: acquiring massive warehouses across the country to use as immigrant detention centers.
US immigration and Customs Enforcement documents that were provided to Republican Gov. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire—one of the states where ICE aims to acquire a building and retrofit it to house at least 1,000 people at a time—show that the administration plans to spend $38.3 billion on its mass detention plan.
First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me
Calling them concentration camps doesn’t change the fact that they are detention centers. Something that both parties are in support of. All of a sudden, now that someone else is in control, everyone’s concerned about the humane conditions of detention centers? All throughout Obama and Trump and Biden, and now Trump again, the humane conditions in detention centers are horrific.

Concentration camps that liberals have helped fund and build. Concentration camps that liberals will go back to ignoring the moment they are back in power. November before Biden left office he requested the construction of 42k more concentration camp beds. Liberals are so fucking desperate to go back to brunch
Hey, buddy, what do you think every fascist government calls em?
Crying about how the other guy is horrible to immigrants too doesn’t bring back Rene or Alex. Nor does it change the fact that this illegitimate regime has taken things to an extreme never seen before.
Don’t touch grass, go play in traffic instead.
Liberals only cared about Rene and Alex because they were white. Most people dont truly give a flying fuck about other people until they look like them.
It took getting to the fourth stanza of First They Came before white liberals gave a fuck about what was happening
I think you’re missing the part where they are massively expanding the number of these facilities. This goes way beyond the kind of “common use” that “both sides” have used.
This is literally how things started in Nazi Germany. First, they needed somewhere to put the “undesirables” while they awaited deportation. But when they couldn’t convince other countries to take them in such huge numbers, they just put them to work instead. And by the end of the war, the “final solution” they came up with for what to do with them, was just to start exterminating them, en masse.
What they called these camps changed over time. First they were just detainment camps…then they were work camps…then they became concentration camps, once they began shutting down the smaller ones, and shipped everyone to the largest camps for disposal.
The DNC helped lay the foundations of those camps.
