We’re at the “shipping container courts” stage of ICE’s mass expansion of the enforcement system.

I don't know if they're whistling in the dark, know the end is coming and are trying to cram as many people through as they can before then, or think either they'll stay in power or the program will be allowed to continue. None of it is good.

There aren’t railroad cars they could use?

I feel like we are at the “we are running out of time to be nazis” stage of the game.

There is not a hell hot enough for these “people”

Starting around 10-11 ago, Sweden did this at its port of entry for passenger trains from Denmark. They would take “irregular migrants” into a shipping container, make an admin determination & escort rejected persons into trains back to Denmark. For some non-Nordic nationals, it was human ping-pong.
