The incompetent farting continues....

Yes, it is true that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has started releasing some detainees back into the U.S. due to a lack of resources and overcrowding in detention facilities. ICE detention centers have reached 109% capacity, holding nearly 42,000 detainees despite a network capacity of 38,521 beds.

This has forced ICE to release some individuals, often under supervision, such as with ankle monitors or other tracking measures[1][4][7]. The overcrowding stems from increased arrests and operational challenges, including insufficient funding and staffing shortages. ICE has acknowledged these pressures and is exploring solutions like expanding detention capacity and requesting additional funding from Congress[3][4].

They used military transport planes that cost 700,000 dollars for each flight. This made good tv on Fox News. A commercial airliner cost 100,000 dollars. So they know how to waste tax money.

This is why they need to build internment camps.
They acknowledged this some time ago.

Brother wtf this isn’t the 40’s

Brother wtf this isn’t the 40’s

Other countries do it such as India having refugee camps...these people are essentially refugees

 

[kinkystinky]

Wouldn't it be easier if trump just campaigned to opt out of the un resolution that obligates the US to take in asylum seekers?

Or is that more complicated to get out of?

 

[Valcazar]

Brother wtf this isn’t the 40’s

It isn't.
But they already announced wanting to use Gitmo as one.
The El Salvador situation resulted in the offer of more.
Stephen Miller was talking openly about the need to build concentration camps during the campaign.

Trump Allies Were Told to Stop Saying They'll Put Migrants in 'Camps'

Trump’s plan to expel millions of migrants would require massive new camps. His advisers are pressing allies not to call them “camps”

It's the only way to do the mass deportation.

 

[Insidious Von]

Awesome now President Musk can initiate a Final Solution.

 

[SchlongConery]

The promised dog and pony mass deportations show is over now... like build the wall. No more Trump farts to get high on huffing.

Ahhhhh Stephen Miller.... he is such an evil presence. I have long though he is the one who quietly lurks in the lower intestines of the MAGA movement and feeds Trump TRUMP'S next idea. Trump does NOT read anything and there is no way he is even aware of the things 'he' comes up with ideas on.

That's the point @Valcazar is wryly making. Val and others have long said that it is physically and logisticalltand financially impossible for Trump to fulfill his campaign lies regarding deporting all illegal aliens. Yet the hateful bigots who Trump gives a voice to buy into their fantasy as if it were the truth.

Lying about how many undocumented immigrants there were and how many are serious criminals probably didn't help.
It meant big show-piece ones that everyone supported couldn't be maintained and Trump does like it to be good TV.
All this dicking around with rules and logistics bores him to tears.

Miller survived the entire first administration, even as most of the staff and inner circle were being fired willy nilly.
I think he's been a major influence this entire time and isn't going to stop being one anytime soon.

Trump can initiate actions to deport all "illegals" from the US, but he'll have to go through the legal and due process...which can take some time....and even after that time, he won't legally be able to remove them all. Trying to fix the shit that happened over the last 4 years is going to be messy but I appreciate the tougher on crime/no bullshit approach.

What is this "tougher on crime/no bullshit approach" of which you speak?
This is more a "easier on crime/lots of bullshit" administration.

I like the cut of your jib Bignrg! A man admitting something went over his head rather than digging in like many people do.

They made a MAGA movie with Dr. Phil the first couple of weeks.
Guess it all fell apart as predicted.
But the movie is enough for MAGA to talk about it for the next 4 years.

Refugee camps are very different from internment camps such as Guantanamo bay.

That's the fear.
They will still do a lot, and point to the early big PR stuff to try and create permission space for people to approve of weird authoritarian power grabs under the guise of a "tougher on crime/no bullshit approach" .
