Think of the chain link cells Lockjaw walks by before he sets out for the town, built inside a tent. Basically, that’s what we’re talking.

Not sure if you know about this official inquiry across the water But, yeah, conditions can deteriorate in a matter of hours if things aren’t done genuinely putting people first. Starts with ability to sleep, lack of medical care, gets worse, can get much worse

Still another step closer to the "hey look it's a mass grave" stage

Now that you mentioned it, I won't be able to stop thinking about it.

This shows Geo Group involved. "The draft work statement ICE posted to sam.gov appears to have originated from a GEO Group account. A review of the file's metadata performed by Project Salt Box shows that the Word document used to produce the PDF lists its company as “GEO Group Inc.,”

Shipping containers - the size of railroad cars. They are deliberately recreating the Third Reich, one step at a time.

the private prison operator that is one of ICE's largest detention contractors. The author’s name, which this publication has withheld, matches the name of a GEO Group Contract Compliance Manager in Boca Raton, Fla." This is from the Salt box article.

If they would only arrest and deport actual criminals, they wouldn't need any of this, because there aren't that many, and most are already in jail or prison.

Ugh. I wonder when people are going to finally accept that this administration wants concentration camps and the associated cruelty.

So maybe stop kidnapping people and the workload and space requirements might decrease.

Ovens will be supplied & delivered by Topf & Söhne. On the same industrial scale, by & for the same industrial effiency. Btw, Adolf admired Ford for this exact reason. (just not the only reason, Henry also being a staunch fascist)

Next up - putting the shipping containers on trains to send them to ICE concentra... err, excuse me... "detention centers" where the contents can be... "dispensed with"... away from public view.

Buildings->shipping containers->railway cars->cattle cars Fascists always follow the same playbook.

How long until they realize the current system is too slow and figure they need a final solution?

These plans are flat out barbaric. If American citizens permit this hell in our midst, built with our earnings & labor, we have no cover of innocence. Let the Midterms put an end to this Administration’s abuses of Executive Powers. If not a Blue win, we are Nazis; time for a multigenerational exit.

They will keep people in vans or whatever for hours and hours and someone will die.

Is this something that could be challenged with zoning laws?
-
If you start at the end and plan backwards, the volume of processing space doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense...if they were truly just processing people who aren’t here legally.

Someday Benjamin Labatut III will write a very fine experimental novel about the inventor of the shipping container

For some reason my mind is drawing a comparison between stuffing certain groups of ppl being sent to *deportation camps into shipping containers and stuffing a different group of targeted ppl into overcrowded railway cars to be sent to concentration camps circa 85 years ago. 👀

The NAZIS went though various methods too until they reached the idea of the final solution. That’s why it’s called the final solution. Miller wants the final solution because he hates anyone who isn’t a strait white Christian male. Every one has been warned. lol
