Apparently, the horrific ICE raids, existing detention centers, and extralegal deportations are not enough for Trump.

He and his administration have continued to up the ante on the inhumane treatment of Americans. We're talking about tens of billions (yes, billions with a b) of dollars being spent to purchase warehouses across this country and turn them into what can only be called concentration camps.

ICE is preparing to spend $38 billion on a so-called 'new detention center model': buying up warehouse spaces and retrofitting them to hold nearly 100,000 people. Warehouses. Not facilities built with any concern for human dignity. Warehouses.

This unprecedented funding provided by the GOP's so-called Big Beautiful Bill has enabled the administration to detain an increasing number of non-criminal immigrants. We're locking up people who've lived here for decades, folks who have never committed a crime.

Detainees have reported rotten food, inadequate access to water, improper medical care, and physical abuse. Three people have died in one camp alone. And we're spending more on this?

The administration's ICE acting director said at a conference, "We need to get better at treating deportation like a business... like [Amazon] Prime, but with human beings." Amazon Prime. That's how this administration talks about abducting our neighbors and tearing families apart.

Trump's secret police are armed en masse, wandering the streets, and going door to door to terrorize communities. And now we're building a permanent infrastructure (a deportation-industrial complex) to support it. Once an agency receives funding and begins hiring and entering contracts, expectations for continued funding become entrenched, making it difficult to reverse the trend.

That's the point. They want this to be permanent.

This is not who we are as Americans. Or at least, it's not who we're supposed to be. We're meant to be better than this, and we can be. It's time for us to take back the House, regain control of appropriations, and the stupidity of the Big Beautiful Bill as far from our nation as possible. 


More soon,

Jim

THIS WOULD PAY FOR HEALTH CARE FOR ALL AMERICANS!


WHY ARE WE DETAINING 70,000 PEOPLE WHO COULD BE WORKING, SUPPORTING 

THEIR FAMILIES, CONTRIBUTING TO THEIR COMMUNITIES? 

ICE GESTAPO HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT MOST OF THOSE PEOPLE HAVE 

NO CRIMINAL RECORDS! 

MAGA REPUBLICANS HAVE OPPOSED NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO CREATE A 

PATHWAY TO CITIZENSHIP AND ICE GESTAPO HAVE INTERUPTED AND PREVENTED 

CITIZENSHIP CEREMONIES! 

HOW DOES THIS MAKE SENSE? 




TELL CONGRESS: ICE plans to use $38 billion to build mega warehouse prisons. Trump's ICE already detains over 70,000 people — more than ever before — in detention centers nationwide like Alligator Alcatraz, which lawmakers have called an internment camp. Sign the petition: Block ICE’s warehouse prison plan and shut down inhumane detention centers!


Trump’s violent ICE forces currently imprison over 70,000 people — a record number.1 ICE prisons like Alligator Alcatraz and Camp East Montana run on abuse, inhumane conditions, and cruelty. Lawmakers have even called Alligator Alcatraz an internment camp.2

Now, ICE wants to spend $38.3 billion to buy up warehouses and turn them into mega-prisons. The plan would allow the agency to detain tens of thousands more people in its horrific detention centers.3

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has already purchased a giant complex the size of seven football fields in Phoenix, an old Big Lots warehouse in Pennsylvania, and a building equal to 640,000 sq. ft. in San Antonio.4,5 Congress must stop this rapid, dangerous expansion.

Sign the petition: Stop ICE’s warehouse prison plan and shut down abusive ICE detention centers!

In some areas where DHS has purchased warehouse buildings, local communities and lawmakers are putting up fierce opposition — from Phoenix to the Philadelphia suburbs.6,7

And Congress recently refused to fund DHS because of ICE’s lawless arrests, detention, and deportations.

Trump’s authoritarian dragnet is taking people away from their families and communities, and throwing them into torture prisons. Congress must end this abuse and stop ICE’s prison expansion plan.

Sign the petition: Block new ICE warehouse prisons and shutdown horrific prisons.

Thanks for taking action,

Joey and the Demand Progress team
